Summary:
Dansville Central School District has a single high school, Dansville High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 349th out of 1,228 New York high schools in 2022-2023 to 460th out of 1,190 in 2021-2022. Its current ranking for 2023-2024 is 410th out of 1,242 schools, slightly below the state average.
Dansville High School's graduation rates of 84.3% for 2022-2023 are lower than the state average, while its dropout rates of 4.9% are higher. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates of 34.1%, significantly above the state average. Academically, the school excels in certain math-related Regents exams, such as Algebra II and Geometry, where its proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state average. However, it underperforms the state average in other areas, including English Language Arts and Science.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $16,537, which is above the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, Dansville High School's overall performance remains below the state average. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.34%, indicates a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces.
