Summary:

There are six elementary schools in zip code 24541 serving grades K–5 (with two also offering pre-K) in the Danville, VA area, split between Danville City Public Schools and Pittsylvania County Public Schools. The standout performers are Forest Hills Elementary and Brosville Elementary: Forest Hills posts the highest overall SOL proficiency (75.4%) with excellent 3rd-grade math and reading scores, while Brosville holds the highest state rank (55th percentile) and leads in upper-grade subjects like 5th-grade reading and 4th-grade VA Studies. Both schools have low chronic absenteeism and favorable student-teacher ratios, showing that strong results are possible despite serving predominantly low-income populations.

The most dramatic trend belongs to Stony Mill Elementary, which fell from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026, with 5th-grade reading and science scores dropping by more than 14 points. Meanwhile, Park Avenue Elementary has the best attendance rate (3.6% chronic absenteeism) but only ranks 18th percentile academically, and Schoolfield Elementary and Edwin A. Gibson Elementary remain near the bottom statewide. VA Studies is a consistent weak spot across Danville schools, with scores ranging from 24.7% to 56.8%, far below the state average of 70.5%.

District reputation does not predict individual school success: Forest Hills outperforms its low-ranked district, while the two Pittsylvania schools lag their high-ranked district. Spending also does not clearly drive outcomes—Forest Hills spends the most ($15,325 per student) and performs best, but Park Avenue spends more than Brosville yet ranks lower. Encouragingly, several Danville schools are improving: Gibson made a 33.6-point jump in 4th-grade VA Studies, and Park Avenue and Schoolfield both moved up in state percentile. For parents, this means school-level data matters more than district labels, and smaller class sizes or improving scores may be worth investigating beyond the overall rankings.
