Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,692 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending. See how Illinois compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 26.3% local, 56.5% state, and 17.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 44/100, ranked #236 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (14 AP courses district-wide), a 310.3:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 34.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 45.5% African American, 29.2% White, 11.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Northeast Elem Magnet School, with a diversity index of 70.6/100.
Its largest campus is Danville High School, enrolling 1,253 students (25% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Edison Elem School, at 233 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Danville High School accounts for 25.4% of all Danville Ccsd 118 student enrollment
That concentration means Danville Ccsd 118-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Danville Ccsd 118 school enrollment varies 5.4× across entities
Danville Ccsd 118 school enrollment ranges from 233 students (lowest) to 1,253 students (highest), a spread of 1,020 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Danville Ccsd 118 student-counselor ratio is 310:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Danville Ccsd 118 is typically wider than the Danville Ccsd 118-aggregate figure suggests.
Danville Ccsd 118 chronic absenteeism rate is 34.9% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
