Danville Lower Middle School

Summary:

Danville Middle School is a public middle school serving 211 students in grades 5-8 in Danville, Arkansas, which is part of the Dardanelle School District. The school has a diverse racial makeup, with 45.97% White and 51.18% Hispanic students, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.62% to 85.31% over the past three school years.

Danville Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in English/Language Arts proficiency, with an impressive 84.5% proficiency rate in 7th grade, significantly higher than the state average of 75.1%. However, the school lags behind the state average in Math and Science proficiency, particularly in the lower grade levels. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 12.9 over the past three years, and spends $7,088 per student, which is lower than the $8,834 spent per student at Dardanelle Middle School.

While Danville Middle School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its ranking within the state has fluctuated, ranging from 108th to 138th out of 330 Arkansas middle schools. The school's high percentage of Hispanic students, compared to the majority White student population at Dardanelle Middle School, may present both challenges and opportunities in addressing the unique needs of its diverse student body. Addressing the areas of Math and Science proficiency could help Danville Middle School better serve its economically disadvantaged population and improve its overall academic performance.

Open Quote I have seen so many positive changes in this school in the last few years. The principal and teachers seem to be so much more positive and active than when they were lumped in with the older grades. I feel like the kids are very well taken care of by this school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
