I completely agree. Danville is one of the worst, if not the worst, small cities for crime in the country. It’s evident in the school system as well, as their SOL passing rates are some of the worst in the state. I mean a 49% passing rate in History? From what I’ve heard Lynchburg is getting worse as Danville.
The worst part is that if crime and gang activity wasn’t so high in Danville, it would be one of the best small cities in the South to live in. Plenty of businesses would come as they wouldn’t have to worry about the crime rate, and population would have always been increasing if Dan River never shut down. Galileo is a nationally ranked school in academics, and quite a few of Halifax students commute every day to go there. You hate to see it.
