Summary

Danville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Danville, Alabama, with 387 students. It is part of the Morgan County school district, which is ranked 49 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Danville Middle School itself has a 2-star rating and consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Danville Middle School faces significant challenges, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 9.0% to 17.9%, and a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, from 27.49% to 62.02%. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.5 to 21.4 over the past few years. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Vinemont Middle, West Point Middle, and Decatur Middle, Danville Middle School consistently underperforms, especially in math and science.

While Danville Middle School struggles to serve its general student population, it does perform better for its special education students, ranking in the top 25% of Alabama middle schools. However, the school's spending per student ($8,068 in 2018-2019) is lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Decatur Middle ($11,092) and Vinemont Middle ($9,542). Addressing these key areas of concern should be a priority for the school and district leadership.
