In contrast, Dansville Elementary School struggles with lower proficiency rates, with only about one-third of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders proficient or better in M-Step English Language Arts.
A common challenge across the district is high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.3% at Dansville Middle School to 21.9% at Dansville Elementary School. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch eligibility ranging from 29.44% at Dansville High School to 37.91% at Dansville Middle School. The district also lacks racial diversity, with predominantly White student populations. Addressing these socioeconomic and diversity-related issues could be key priorities for the Dansville Schools district to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all students.
