Centralia School District

Summary:

The Centralia School District in Washington serves about 3,250 students across eight schools, including five elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools, but faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 14% of districts statewide.

Among the elementary schools, Washington Elementary School is the highest performer, with test scores closest to state averages, while Jefferson Lincoln Elementary faces the steepest challenges, ranking in the bottom 5% of elementary schools. The district's single Centralia Middle School shows a critical need for improvement, especially in math where proficiency is dramatically below the state average.

At the high school level, Centralia High School has shown notable recent improvement in its state ranking, though graduation rates district-wide still lag. The alternative Futurus High School has an extremely high student-to-teacher ratio and the district's lowest graduation rate. Overall, the district's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are consistently below state averages, indicating systemic academic hurdles.
