GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Danville has been a good experience so far. Like all schools, they have their pros and cons, but for the most part the good outway the bad. starting next year we will have therapy dogs. Danville also has a very successful fine arts program. Students can express their many interests at Danville. And over all the students are relatively nice.

I attended this school k-9th grade. This is a very unique school district. It has always been difficult to explain to people just how odd this community is. You will love this school or hate it and that depends ENTIRELY upon the amount of money you appear to have. You have to be willing to only dres...
