Academically, Dansville Middle School's performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT test scores, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's proficiency rates in M-Step English Language Arts and Math for 6th and 7th grades were significantly lower than the state averages in 2024-2025.
