How the Danville Public-School Landscape Breaks Down
Danville, KY enrolls 4,040 students across 10 public schools reporting to the National Center for Education Statistics. The average student-teacher ratio across the city is 14.6:1, Schools must report at least five campuses in a city to appear in this listing, which is why very small towns may redirect to the broader county or state view.
The highest-ranked campus in Danville is Boyle County High School, scoring 49/100 (D) with 869 enrolled students at the high level. Families should treat any single ranking as a starting point rather than a verdict — a school serving fewer at-risk students or offering more AP classes will score higher on resource-based composites even if individual teachers or programs elsewhere are stronger. The quality score framework is transparent and rebuilt from raw NCES and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) inputs, so each component can be inspected on the individual school pages linked in the table below.
Danville schools sit within multiple district boundaries, which matters for property taxes, redistricting votes, and bond measures. Each district files its own NCES F-33 financial return, meaning per-pupil spending can vary noticeably even between neighbouring campuses in the same city. Use the table to sort by enrollment, level, or district, then click any school name for campus-level demographics, Title I status, counselor and nurse staffing, AP courses, chronic-absenteeism rates, and district per-pupil spending. The sidebar links also connect Danville housing costs, wage data, and crime statistics — context many parents weigh alongside test-adjacent school signals when relocating.
Boyle County High School accounts for 21.5% of all Danville public-school enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Danville-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A dominant campus often anchors a city's program landscape and absorbs a disproportionate share of district capital and staffing decisions. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Danville school enrollment varies 32× across entities
Danville school enrollment ranges from 27 students (lowest) to 869 students (highest), a spread of 842 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme heterogeneity inside a single city — small specialty programs sit alongside large comprehensive campuses, often serving very different family demographics inside walking distance. Per-school staffing, programme depth, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same city based on enrollment shape — a 200-student magnet runs a different operational model than a 2,000-student comprehensive high school.
Danville has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Danville student-teacher ratio is 14.6:1 — near the typical range (US average ~16) — aligned with the U.S. average of approximately 16:1
student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment — push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Danville is typically wider than the Danville-aggregate figure suggests.
The top-rated school in Danville is Boyle County High School with a quality score of 49/100. There are 10 public schools in Danville with 4,040 total students.
