This school has great staff, great teachers. The only thing I don't like is the food, and the fact that there are so many cliques. I really like the school though.

I went to Danville High School, and loved it there! The teachers were outstanding and the leadership and quality was also outstanding!

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
