Zip code 61832 has two schools listed as middle schools in Danville CCSD 118, serving 1,404 students across grades 5–8: North Ridge Middle School serves grades 7–8, and South View Upper Elementary School serves grades 5–6. In 2025–2026, their average all-grades proficiency was 25% in ELA and 8% in math, compared with state rates of 56% and 40%.

North Ridge has the higher published all-grades results: 27% in ELA versus 23% at South View, a 4-point difference, and 10% in math versus 7%, a 3-point difference. But both schools’ grade-specific results are substantially below their grade’s state figures: for example, North Ridge grade 7 ELA was 28% versus 58%, while South View grade 6 was 26% versus 59%. Because the schools serve different grades, their overall results are not like-grade comparisons. The grade-level ELA gaps were largest in grade 8 at North Ridge and grade 5 at South View, each about 37 points below the state.
ELA proficiency rose at both schools between the two reported years, while math changed little: North Ridge ELA increased 7 points and math 2; South View ELA increased 2 points and math was unchanged. SchoolDigger’s North Ridge ranking fell from the 11th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026, despite the test-score gains. As additional context, in 2024–2025, 88% of North Ridge students and 93% of South View students were free/reduced lunch eligible; student-teacher ratios were 21.1 and 18.7, respectively. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 33% at North Ridge and 26% at South View, compared with 24% statewide. These measures describe different aspects of the schools and do not explain their test results.
