Summary

Danville Middle School is a public school in Danville, Indiana — a suburban community west of Indianapolis — serving about 870 students in grades 5 through 8 as part of Danville Community School Corp. The district is rated 5 stars and ranks 25th of 374 Indiana districts. The school ranked 76th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025-26 (84th percentile, 4 stars), a dip from 2024-25, when it was 38th of 480 (92nd percentile, 5 stars). Over the past decade its percentile never fell below 84, reaching 95th in 2020-21.

Among nearby schools, Danville sits in the middle-to-upper-middle: it clearly outperforms Monrovia Middle School and Paul Hadley Middle School, roughly matches Cascade Middle School, but trails Brownsburg West Middle School, Brownsburg East Middle School, Tri-West Middle School, Plainfield Community Middle School, and Avon Middle School North and Avon Middle School South in most all-grade proficiency measures. The gap is largest versus Brownsburg West, whose scores run about 16–18 points higher. Notably, Cascade holds the same 84th percentile rank with lower poverty (29.52% vs. 38.51% free/reduced lunch) and far smaller classes (12.7 vs. 17.9 students per teacher), yet Danville posts slightly higher scores. Danville's middle school scores also run a few points below its district averages in Math and Science.

Every grade-level result is above the state average, but lower grades are stronger: 6th-grade ELA (61.04) and 5th-grade Math (60.00) stand out, while 8th-grade Math (41.92) and 7th/8th ELA (near 48) show momentum fading. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest weakness at 13.3% in 2024-25, up from 9.8% and the highest among the nearby schools, though still better than state and district rates. Spending is $11,072 per student, and the student-teacher ratio (17.9) is higher than several higher-scoring neighbors; Brownsburg West, for example, spends $6,399 and scores much higher. Biology EOC proficiency (87.5% in 2025-26) is a bright spot, though it likely reflects a small cohort.
