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.

School was pretty great, the second to last year, I was given multiple opportunities and I enjoyed that. They helped me when it came to not understanding things which was good. The last year was online due to covid and I think I appreciated that the best. I was able to do everything online, still had friends that I had made over the years, and I completed some things a bit earlier than expected.

My time spent at Danville High School was fine. There were staff there that I really enjoyed, but over the years, it felt like the school turned blind eyes to bullying and harassment, and I hope they are doing better in this area for the students.

Danville High School is such a diverse place. You never know what kind of people you will pass in the hallways, and I mean that in a good way. The teachers are also amazing. They will always work with you on stuff. Even the most strict teachers you have are willing to talk to you about anything. There is something for everyone, so you can definitely find something that interests you. I have always been in the Danville Independent Schools district and I can honestly say that I am so glad I was. I am incredibly proud of our little school, and I am proud to say that I will be a Danville High School graduate.
