Best Public Schools in Danville, IL

Summary:

The city of Danville, Illinois is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Northeast Elementary Magnet School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while other schools struggle to meet proficiency standards.

While Southwest Elementary School also performs above the district average, the majority of Danville schools fall well below state benchmarks in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, from a low of 4.6% at Northeast Elementary Magnet School to a high of 45.5% at Mark Denman Elementary School, suggesting attendance issues may be a significant challenge for the district.

The data also reveals high poverty levels across the Danville CCSD 118 district, with the majority of schools serving student populations where over 50% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This disparity in resources and funding may contribute to the wide performance gaps observed between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the area.
