Summary:
The Danville Community School District in Iowa consists of two schools: Danville Elementary School and Danville Junior-Senior High School. While Danville Elementary has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Iowa, the performance of Danville Junior-Senior High has been more mixed in recent years.
Danville Elementary School stands out as the district's top performer, with strong test scores that significantly exceed state averages across all grade levels. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top 40% of Iowa elementary schools. In contrast, Danville Junior-Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 23% of Iowa high schools in 2021-2022 to the middle 61% in 2023-2024.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with Danville Elementary at 95.74% and Danville Junior-Senior High at 91.26% white students. The district also serves a relatively affluent population, with around 35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the elementary school excels, the high school's performance warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to its decline in statewide ranking.
