Summary
Edna L. Toliver Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Danville, Kentucky, serving 508 students in grades 2-5. The school is part of the Danville Independent School District, which is ranked 117 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite having relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,876 to $18,358 over the past few years, Edna L. Toliver Intermediate School consistently performs below the state average in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and other subjects were around 30-40%, compared to the state averages of 43-50%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.5% to 30.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and students with disabilities, who consistently rank in the bottom 25% of their respective subgroups statewide.
When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Mary G. Hogsett Primary School, and other districts, such as Hustonville Elementary, Lancaster Elementary, and Perryville Elementary, Edna L. Toliver Intermediate School consistently underperforms academically, despite serving similar demographics. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies, intervention programs, and overall approach to supporting student success, particularly in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and improving outcomes for underperforming subgroups.
