Dansville High School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the state average, with some notable exceptions. The school stands out for its strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Earth Science, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government, where students achieve proficiency rates above the state average. However, the school's graduation rate of 84.3% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to its lower overall academic outcomes.

These schools serve as useful benchmarks for Dansville to identify best practices and areas for improvement, particularly in addressing achievement gaps and chronic absenteeism.
