The high school boasts relatively high graduation rates and strong performance on Regents exams.

In contrast, the elementary schools show more mixed results. While Ellis B Hyde Elementary School has some bright spots, such as outperforming district and state averages in 3rd grade math and English Language Arts, it is ranked lower overall at 1,875 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools. The schools in the Dansville Central School District generally underperform the state averages on the New York State Assessments, with the exception of Dansville High School's strong Regents exam results.

Across the district, the schools face challenges, including relatively high dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the Dansville community. The district's investment in smaller class sizes, with relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggests a focus on providing more individualized attention, but the academic results indicate that other factors may be hindering student achievement.
