Summary
Danville High School is a public school in rural Danville, Ohio, serving grades 7–12 with 221 students as part of the Danville Local district. The district earns strong marks — 208th of 773 districts, 73rd percentile, 4 stars — while the school itself ranked 426th of 795 schools, 46th percentile, 2 stars, in 2025–2026. That gap suggests the district's other buildings may be performing better than the high school currently is.
Academically, the school is a tale of two levels. Its middle grades are a genuine strength: in 2025–2026, 8th graders reached 87.8% proficiency in science, 81.6% in mathematics, and 81.6% in English language arts, topping state averages and comparable nearby schools such as Lucas High School, River View High School, Loudonville High School, and East Knox Junior/Senior High School. High school End-of-Course results are more uneven. Geometry (57.6%) was the highest among nearby schools, and Biology (80.0%) was solid. But American Government (59.5%) was the lowest among nearby schools and well below the state's 71.6%, while English II (63.6%) and Algebra I (62.2%) landed near state averages but below several neighbors.
Where Danville shines is student support and completion. Its graduation rate was 100.0% in 2025–2026, higher than every nearby school listed, and chronic absenteeism fell to 10.9% from 24.5% in 2023–2024 — far below the next-lowest nearby rate, Fredericktown High School at 16.1%. The 10:1 student–teacher ratio is among the lowest nearby, compared with Mount Vernon High School at 18.3 and Fredericktown at 18.1, and per-pupil spending of $11,698 is the highest among nearby schools with reported data. Subgroup results are mixed: Special Education Students ranked 77th percentile, 4 stars, in 2024–2025, but Low Socio Economic Status Students dropped to 30th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026. East Knox outperformed Danville in American Government, American History, and Algebra I, though Danville was stronger overall.
