The Centralia School District consists of eight K-6 elementary schools with a diverse ethnic and socio-economic student population. Approximately 4700 students are currently enrolled. The District operates eight Child Care Centers, three State Preschool Programs and a Neighborhood Resource Center. A variety of state and federal grants provide our students with extensive counseling, health and social services. Students experience a comprehensive curriculum. Subjects are not taught in isolation, but rather integrated into activity-based instruction, supported by a consistent homework policy. Multimedia centers, computer labs, and teacher computer stations bring together the latest in technology. Programs that meet the special needs of students include the Resource Specialist Program, Gifted and Talented Education Program, and the English Language Program that supports second language learners. Our highly successful programs for the hearing impaired and learning and communicatively handicapped children are structured to provide learning experiences that allow them to function successfully in a regular education setting to the maximum extent appropriate. The District aggressively pursues grants for supplemental funding to expand programs and capabilities.
