Summary:
The Dansville High School is the sole high school serving the Dansville Schools district. While the school has some areas of strength, such as above-average performance in science and social studies, it faces challenges in terms of graduation rates, attendance, and math proficiency that warrant further attention and intervention.
Dansville High School's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state norm. Additionally, the school grapples with a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, suggesting that student engagement and retention are areas that require focused efforts. Academically, the school's math proficiency rates lag behind the state average, while its reading, writing, and social studies performance is more in line with state benchmarks.
Interestingly, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 290 out of 743 schools in 2023-2024 to 303 out of 739 schools in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other Michigan high schools. Furthermore, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the 33.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may impact academic outcomes and require additional resources and support.
