Summary:
Centerville Elementary is a public elementary school in Anderson, South Carolina, serving 620 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Anderson 05 school district, which is ranked 18 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
Centerville Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 50.32% White, 30% African American, 9.35% Hispanic, and 9.68% two or more races. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a high poverty rate, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby schools like Concord Elementary and Midway Elementary, which have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Academically, Centerville Elementary's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, and the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 266 out of 622 South Carolina elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 347 out of 644 in 2022-2023.
Despite these challenges, Centerville Elementary has shown some positive trends, such as a gradual increase in the percentage of Hispanic students and a consistently high level of racial diversity compared to nearby schools. To address the school's underperformance and support its diverse student population, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, such as additional academic support, professional development for teachers, and community engagement strategies, to help improve student outcomes and ensure the school's long-term success.
