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.
