S.C. Tucker Elementary School is a standout, ranking 30th out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms district and state averages in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics, despite having a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, Danville High School, while ranked 39th out of 305 Arkansas high schools with a 4-star rating, struggles in Mathematics and Algebra, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state.
The middle schools, Danville Upper and Danville Lower, have more varied performance, with Danville Lower Middle School outperforming the district and state in several subjects. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all schools having a significant percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 73.08% at Danville High School to 87.46% at S.C. Tucker Elementary School. This suggests a need for equitable resource allocation and targeted interventions to support the economically disadvantaged student population.
