Summary:
Zip code 75833, serving the Centerville, Texas area, is home to two public schools within the Centerville Independent School District (Isd), which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 676 students and is ranked 571 out of 951 districts in Texas.
The district presents a clear contrast between its two schools. Centerville Junior-Senior High School (grades 7-12) is the stronger performer, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and standout proficiency in English I and II, where over 68% of students met state standards—well above the state average. However, its state ranking has been volatile, dropping sharply to the 35th percentile in the most recent data, driven by low Algebra I and Biology scores. In contrast, Centerville Elementary (grades PK-6) consistently struggles, with math and science proficiency rates often half the state average—for example, only 20.69% of 4th graders were proficient in math. The elementary school's state rank has hovered near the bottom, recently improving slightly to the 32nd percentile.
A key takeaway is that despite above-average per-student spending ($13,145 at the elementary and $15,137 at the high school) and very low student-teacher ratios (12.6:1 and 9.7:1, respectively), academic outcomes generally lag behind state averages. This suggests resources alone are not translating into results, pointing to a need for instructional review. The high school's English program is a clear success story that could inform other subjects, while a systemic "math problem" spans both schools, from 4th grade through Algebra I. With a significant portion of students economically disadvantaged (52.54% at the elementary, 40.68% at the high school), the district faces challenges that require targeted, K-12 strategies to improve foundational skills.
