Danville School

Summary:

Danville School is an alternative public school serving around 350 students in grades PK-12 in the predominantly White community of Danville, Vermont. While the school generally outperforms the state average on English Language Arts assessments, it struggles significantly in mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average in most grades.

Danville School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 9.1 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Blue Mountain Union School (11.4) and Twinfield Union School (8.3). Additionally, Danville School spends around $11,959 per student, which is lower than the nearby Blue Mountain Union ($13,058) and Twinfield Union ($15,377) schools. This suggests a focus on smaller class sizes despite lower overall spending per student.

While Danville School's English Language Arts performance is generally strong, the school has seen a decline in proficiency rates over the past few years. In contrast, the school struggles significantly in mathematics, with only 4.17% of 9th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 33.03%. Additionally, Danville School has a less diverse student population compared to the nearby Twinfield Union School, which has a higher percentage of non-White students (15% vs. 8% at Danville).

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.
