Dansville High School

Summary:

Dansville High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Dansville Central School District, with 623 students located in Dansville, NY. While the school has consistently ranked in the middle tier of New York high schools over the past decade, it demonstrates some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

Dansville High School excels in advanced STEM coursework, with very high proficiency rates on Regents exams in subjects like Algebra II, Geometry, Chemistry, and Physics. This suggests the school is effectively preparing students for rigorous college-level work in these areas. However, the school lags behind the state average on 7th and 8th grade ELA and Math assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 37-49% compared to the state's 49-57%. This indicates a need to focus on strengthening the academic foundation in the earlier grades, which could help boost overall achievement and better prepare students for success in high school.

Another area of concern is the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 50% qualifying for free/reduced lunch. The school's performance on assessments and rankings for this subgroup tend to be lower than the overall school averages, indicating achievement gaps. Examining best practices from higher-performing, similarly-situated schools, such as Livonia Middle/High School or Hornell Junior-Senior High School, could provide insights on effective strategies to support this student population and close these gaps.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
