Summary

Danville Middle School serves 372 students in grades 5-8 in the small town of Danville, Alabama, as part of the Morgan County school district. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, placing it in the middle of the pack statewide, with about 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most remarkable story at Danville is the dramatic turnaround for special education students. In just two years, this subgroup jumped from the 23rd percentile statewide to the 84th percentile—an extraordinary improvement that suggests targeted interventions are working. Hispanic students have also shown a stunning reversal, going from last place in the state to above-average performance. Chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 34% to just 8.6%, now better than the state average. However, the school faces a significant challenge in 6th grade, where math proficiency sits at just 10.45% compared to 59.26% in 5th grade—a nearly 49-point drop that suggests a transition problem between grade levels. English Language Arts performance is closer to state averages, with 5th grade as a clear strength.

Compared to nearby schools, Danville sits in the middle-to-lower tier. Priceville Junior High School (13 miles away) is a 5-star school with 8th grade math proficiency at 72% versus Danville's 26%. More tellingly, West Morgan Middle School achieves better results despite serving a higher-poverty population, and West Point Middle School—with similar demographics—posts 6th grade math scores nearly six times higher. The school's performance with White students (likely its largest demographic) ranks in the 26th percentile, notably weaker than its results with other subgroups. Danville spends $8,068 per student, more than some higher-performing neighbors, suggesting resource allocation matters as much as funding. The school appears to be stabilizing after years of volatility, with clear pockets of excellence to build upon.
