Summary:
The city of Danville, Alabama is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve students across the Morgan County and Lawrence County school districts.
Among the standout schools in Danville is DanvilleNeel Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top 30% of Alabama elementary schools and outperforms the Morgan County and Alabama averages in math, science, and English proficiency. In contrast, Danville Middle School and Danville High School generally underperform the district and state averages in math and science, though they perform better in English proficiency.
Another school, Speake, while ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, shows some bright spots in its English proficiency scores, which are above the Lawrence County and state averages. However, Speake also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 71.67%, indicating a larger population of economically disadvantaged students. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure more equitable funding and staffing levels.
