Central Elementary was built in 1963, and except for the addition of two classrooms in the 1970s, no major renovations have taken place since that time.  The BOE and community are studying the possibility of future building or remodeling.

Central Elementary is a K-2 facility with a current enrollment of 313 students. An Early Childhood Special Education program for students 3-5 years of age is offered at Central. Kindergarten students attend school for a full day (5 days/week).

The emphasis for student learning in the primary grades is placed on literacy (“learning to read”) and numeracy skills. Central students also explore and study Science and Social Studies in the classroom. Vocal Music, Physical Education, Visual Arts, Technology, and Character Education are studied in auxiliary classrooms with support teachers who have special training in their respective content areas.

Our Vision:

All students at Central Elementary School will be at or
above proficiency in reading, writing, math and science by the end of second grade.
