Before moving here our grand daughter attended a school with an exlemparary rating. I was very suprised to find that Centervilles curriclum is much more advanced then the Exlempary school The teachers here are wonderful and have helped her with the new school adjustment. They are always available if extra help is needed. I cannot say enough nice things about this school I think its the best

I have truly enjoyed my child attending Centerville Elementary. It has been a wonderful experience for both my child and myself. The staff is willing to work with us in a positive manner. The school's tests scores are a proof of this last statement.

The administration at this school leaves a lot to be desired. The favortism amoung some teachers and principal is overwhelming. Defending your child at this school when problems arise is impossible. If your somebody in this little town you get special treatment. To all the others, good luck. No wonder the morale and attitude of the children is so low. Have to say this administration and some teachers are not worth the tax money i spend each year.
