Summary

Centerville Elementary is a mid-sized public school in Gilbert, SC, serving 812 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly regarded Lexington 01 school district, which ranks in the top 20% of districts statewide.

Centerville has a clear strength in early math. In 3rd grade, 70.4% of students are proficient in math—above both the district (68.6%) and state (59.2%) averages, and a trend that has held for three straight years. However, the school struggles to sustain that progress. By 5th grade, math proficiency drops to just 44%, a 26-point decline that is far steeper than the district's 15-point drop. This "math slide" between 3rd and 5th grade is the school's most significant academic challenge. English Language Arts performance is more stable but slightly below district peers, with 5th-grade proficiency at 63.8% versus the district's 70.5%. On a positive note, the school has shown exceptional recent success with its Hispanic students, jumping to the 74th percentile statewide—a remarkable one-year improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Centerville sits in the middle tier. Top-performing neighbors like Lake Murray Elementary (96th percentile) and New Providence Elementary (95th percentile) outperform Centerville by 20-30 points in most subjects, while Rocky Creek Elementary and Pleasant Hill Elementary also rank higher. Notably, Centerville spends more per student ($14,944) than several of these higher-performing schools, suggesting resources aren't the issue. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent concern at 20.8%—roughly 1 in 5 students—compared to just 7-8% at the top-tier schools. The school's overall ranking has improved from the 48th to 62nd percentile in recent years, but addressing the upper-grade math curriculum and attendance will be key to continued progress.
