Best Public Schools in Centerville, SD

Summary:

The city of Centerville, South Dakota is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Centerville Elementary - 02, Centerville High School - 01, and Centerville Middle School - 03. These schools are part of the Centerville School District 60-1, which is ranked 16th out of 147 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Among the three schools, Centerville High School - 01 stands out as an exceptional institution, ranking 7th out of 166 high schools in South Dakota and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 78.26% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 69.56% proficient or better in Mathematics. Additionally, Centerville High School - 01 maintains a high graduation rate of 86.4% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%.

The school's 3rd-grade students demonstrate strong proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 85% of students meeting or exceeding standards in both subjects.

While the overall performance of the Centerville School District is commendable, with all three schools ranking in the top half of their respective school types in the state, the middle school, Centerville Middle School - 03, shows some areas for improvement. The school has lower test scores and a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the elementary and high school. However, the district's consistent 4-star rating suggests a strong foundation for student success, and the relatively low student-teacher ratios across all three schools may contribute to the generally strong academic performance.
