Central City School #133

The Village of Central City has a population of around 1,200 people. Our community is located directly north of the city of Centralia and lies entirely within the boundaries of Marion County.
Central City is well known throughout our area as being a clean, safe and “tightly knit” community. We are very proud of our “small town” feel, but we are equally proud of the many amenities and conveniences that we are able to provide for our citizens. Currently, our citizens have access to a full-time Police Force, a beautiful City Park, a small shopping mall and a highly respected K-8 Grade School.
Because of our close proximity to the city of Centralia, our citizens are also able to enjoy many of the benefits of a larger community.
The citizens of Central City, are especially proud of our beautiful Elementary School. Central City School currently has around 225 students in grades K-8. Our school also offers both a Pre-K program and an Early Childhood Education program.
In 2001, Central City School underwent a complete renovation. Our students now enjoy having a fully air-conditioned school that has a spacious library with a “Reading Tree House”, a fully equipped computer lab, a Band/Chorus room, and 17 spacious classrooms that are equipped with marker boards, SmartBoards and a minimum of 3 internet accessible computers.
Central City School is fully accredited by the State of Illinois and continues to be recognized as a “Spotlight School” by the Illinois State Board of Education. Central City School continues to meet the AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) benchmarks established by the Federal Government’s No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation.

Due to our close proximity to the City of Centralia, the entire village of Central City lies within the boundaries of the Centralia High School District. Therefore, most Central City School graduates attend Centralia High School. However, several of our students have chosen to attend the newly constructed "Christ Our Rock" Lutheran High School which is located about 15 minutes away from the village of Central City.

As one of 13 "feeder" schools whose 8th grade graduates attend Centralia High School, Central City school understands that we must do all we can in order to prepare our students for high school and beyond. We are proud to say that of the last 11 valedictorians at Centralia High School (1999-2010), 4 have been Central City School graduates.
