Summary

Danville Elementary School is a PK–6 school of 353 students in the Danville Local district, serving a small rural community about 12 miles northeast of Mount Vernon, Ohio. In 2025–2026 it ranked 307th of 1,560 ranked Ohio elementary schools — the 80th percentile, 4 stars — its highest mark in ten years of reported history. The school climbed from the 35th percentile (2 stars) in 2016–2018 to the 80th percentile today, and has held at or above the 70th percentile for four straight years. Because the district operates a single testing school at this level, district and school test scores are identical, so the most informative comparisons are to the state and to nearby schools.

Math and science are the strongest signals. Across all nine tested grade-subjects, Danville averages roughly 17 points above the state, with math gaps of +16.8 to +29.2 and 5th-grade science at 88.9% versus 62.7% statewide — a 24.8-point one-year jump, the largest movement in the dataset. Against its nearest comparable neighbor, East Knox Elementary School (4.4 miles away, same K–6 span), Danville leads in eight of nine tested grade-subjects; East Knox edges ahead only in 3rd-grade ELA, by 0.3 points. Danville also reports 3.9% chronic absenteeism — the lowest of all ten nearby comparison schools, less than half its own district rate, and well below East Knox's 12.5%.

Two things are worth watching. ELA is the soft spot: 3rd-grade ELA fell from 76.6% and 72.0% in the two prior years to 63.6%, now essentially level with the state, and 6th-grade ELA has declined three years running, leaving a 24-point gap between math and ELA in that grade. Meanwhile, special education students rank at the 92nd percentile (5 stars) — 12 points above the school's own overall standing — and the student–teacher ratio improved to 13.0, second-lowest in the peer group. Notably, this improvement came while free/reduced-lunch rates rose from 36.9% to 41.1%.
