Established in 1875, the District's eight elementary schools currently serve 4,500 students in the cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, and La Palma. Centralia School District was the first school district in California to provide free textbooks to students, and today is one of only three school districts in Orange County that is not "program improvement". In 2019, the Centralia School District was the first school district in the State of California to offer universal preschool.

According to the 2010 Census, the District's resident population is 55,193 with a demographic of 34% Hispanic, 30% White, 29% Asian, 4% Black, and 3% Other/Mixed Race.

The District is known for their award-winning Food Services program and for having a campus with the largest school-wide standardized test score increase in the State of California between the 2012–13 and 2013–14 school years.
