While Danville Middle School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its ranking within the state has fluctuated, ranging from 108th to 138th out of 330 Arkansas middle schools. The school's high percentage of Hispanic students, compared to the majority White student population at Dardanelle Middle School, may present both challenges and opportunities in addressing the unique needs of its diverse student body. Addressing the areas of Math and Science proficiency could help Danville Middle School better serve its economically disadvantaged population and improve its overall academic performance.

Open Quote I have seen so many positive changes in this school in the last few years. The principal and teachers seem to be so much more positive and active than when they were lumped in with the older grades. I feel like the kids are very well taken care of by this school. Close Quote
