Best Public Schools in Dansville, NY

Summary:

The city of Dansville, New York is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Dansville Primary School and Ellis B Hyde Elementary School) and 1 high school (Dansville High School) - all part of the Dansville Central School District. While Dansville High School is a relatively strong performer, the elementary schools struggle to meet state proficiency levels, particularly Ellis B Hyde Elementary.

Dansville High School stands out, ranking 410 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts a high graduation rate of 84.3% and low dropout rate of 4.9%, along with strong performance on Regents exams, with several subjects having over 80% proficiency rates. In contrast, Ellis B Hyde Elementary is ranked 1,850 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating and most subject proficiency rates below 50%.

Across the district, there appears to be a significant level of economic disadvantage, with all three schools having a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.68% at Dansville Primary to 61.05% at Ellis B Hyde Elementary. This disparity in student demographics may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the elementary schools. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Dansville High School compared to the elementary schools suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation that could be addressed to improve overall educational outcomes in the Dansville community.
