Alum: Overall, I had a very good experience here. The teachers were very helpful and I was able to learn material. Some “leadership” clubs were popularity contests to get into, but who needs them? I would say this school did a great job preparing me for college. I would recommend this school if you want your child to be prepared for the future and make lifelong connections with people.

High School Senior: This school differs greatly from my previous one, which is very good. In the past I attended a private school, and compared to West Burlington, the school didn't teach me a lot and the teachers didn't care nearly as much about the students. If I could do it all over again, I would still attend West Burlington.

Senior: Danville Junior/Senior High School is a very nice school filled with quality kids. I attended the school since I started kindergarten. I loved my experience there and have made life-long friends because of it. It is a really small school. My graduating class has only 40 people in it. The education was great and the teachers were all very nice and cared about each individual. I would definitely recommend Danville Junior/Senior High School to anyone in the nearby district or area.

My counselor was an integral part of my school career as well. She was always available to work with me on my class schedule. I feel that I am prepared for the next four years in college because of attending Burlington community high school.
