Summary

Danville High School is a public high school in Danville, AL, serving 374 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Morgan County school district. This small-town school has recently made significant strides, jumping from the 46th to the 68th percentile in statewide rankings and earning a 3-star rating.

The most impressive story at Danville is its rapid academic turnaround. In just one year, proficiency rates more than doubled in math (from 9% to 25%) and English (from 15% to 33%), while science scores nearly doubled to 39%—now exceeding the state average. English is a particular strength, with 11th-grade proficiency (32.88%) surpassing the district average and nearly matching the state. The school also boasts an exceptional 96.5% graduation rate, well above both district and state averages, and has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from 32% to just 7.1%—the lowest among all nearby schools, including the higher-performing Hartselle High School. Within the Morgan County district, Danville outranks both West Morgan High School and Falkville High School in overall state ranking and English proficiency.

While the school's momentum is encouraging, challenges remain. Math proficiency (25.33%) still trails district and state averages, and there is a notable gender gap—female students rank in the 77th percentile statewide while male students rank in the 47th. Additionally, the school's Special Education students have consistently ranked in the bottom 10-12% statewide, indicating a need for more targeted support. However, given the school's recent trajectory, its strong graduation culture, and its ability to outperform peers while serving a higher percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (48.93% vs. 26.78% at Hartselle), Danville High School appears to be a positive and improving environment for student success.
