Summary:
Elementary schools in the Danville Community School Corp serve students in Danville, Indiana through two schools: North Elementary School (PK–2, 446 students) and South Elementary School (grades 2–4, 626 students), together enrolling 1,072 children. Their grade spans overlap at grade 2, and the data does not explain how those students are divided. The district itself is rated 25th of 374 Indiana districts, in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars.
South Elementary School is the academic standout. In 2025–2026, it beat the district in every reported all-grade subject and posted 4th-grade math at 68.52% proficient, 16.52 points above the state's 52%. Its 4th-grade science rate was 64.35%, 20.55 points above the state's 43.8%. On its own ranking, South has stayed a 4-star school for three straight years, ranging from the 77th to 87th percentile and currently sitting 171st of 1,015 schools at the 83rd percentile. North Elementary School has no test-proficiency results here, simply because it serves grades PK–2; that is an absence of applicable testing, not a sign of low performance.
Comparing the two schools, North Elementary School has slightly lower chronic absenteeism (27.0% vs. 28.2%), a slightly lower free/reduced-lunch rate (35.87% vs. 37.7%), and a smaller student-teacher ratio (17.1 vs. 17.8). South Elementary School, however, spends $18,650 per student compared with $13,061 at North — about 43% more. The clearest concern for families is attendance: chronic absenteeism at both schools runs around 27–28%, well above the district's 18.2% and the state's 16.7%.
