Schools in Zip Code 43014

ZIP code 43014 covers the village of Danville in central Ohio, where a single district — Danville Local — serves all 574 students across just two buildings: Danville Elementary School (PK–6, 353 students) and Danville High School (7–12, 221 students). There is no standalone middle school, so the high school building mixes middle-grade and high-school results — and those two halves perform very differently.

Danville Elementary School is the district's engine. It has held 4 stars for three straight years and climbed to 307th of 1,560 Ohio schools (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025-2026. All nine tested subjects are at or above the state average, with an average proficiency of 79.5% versus 62.1% statewide, and chronic absenteeism of just 3.9% — the lowest in the dataset. Science is the standout: 5th grade Science hit 88.9 against a state 62.7. The only soft spots are 3rd grade ELA (63.6 vs. 63.4) and 6th grade ELA (+5.0 points).

Danville High School is a study in contrast. Its grades 7–8 results are excellent — averaging 78.1% proficiency versus 56.6% statewide, with 8th grade Math +29.6 and 8th grade Science +26.6 — but its high-school End-of-Course exams average only 66.8% versus 63.2%, with American Government the one result below the state (59.5 vs. 71.6). The school earned 2 stars (46th percentile) with a volatile 2★/3★/2★ pattern over three years, and chronic absenteeism of 10.9% is nearly triple the elementary school's, driving the district's 6.6% rate. It also posts a 100% graduation rate. Note that per-student spending figures come from 2018-2019 and are roughly seven years stale, and that small grade-level cohorts make single-year subject swings noisy.
