Additionally, Danville High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 36.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

The nearby high schools, such as Oakwood High School, Coop High School 1, Salt Fork High School, and Westville High School, generally outperform Danville High School across various metrics, including academic performance, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Despite the high per-student spending at Danville High School, the school has not been able to significantly improve its performance or move up in the statewide rankings over the past decade, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues.
