Summary:
The 61832 zip code area of Danville, Illinois is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Danville CCSD 118 district. This district is ranked 783 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.
Within this set of schools, Northeast Elementary Magnet School stands out as the highest performer, with 50.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 32.2% in Mathematics, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. Edison Elementary School also demonstrates higher test scores compared to the other schools in the area. However, the majority of schools in the 61832 zip code area perform below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with particularly low proficiency rates in Mathematics.
A concerning trend across all schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate, which stands at 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.15% to 95.03%. Addressing these issues, along with the consistently low academic performance, will require a comprehensive and targeted approach by the Danville CCSD 118 district and community stakeholders.
