Public Grades

Summary

North Dodge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Eastman, Georgia, serving 598 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Dodge County School District, which is ranked 158 out of 201 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While North Dodge Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (57.36%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance is significantly lower. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state averages and the scores of schools like Southwest Laurens Elementary and Bleckley County Elementary School. Additionally, over 90% of North Dodge Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

North Dodge Elementary's statewide ranking has been declining over the past several years, dropping from 483 out of 1,225 Georgia elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 644 out of 1,242 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other schools in the state, despite spending around $9,800 per student, which is higher than the spending at some nearby schools. The combination of lower test scores, high poverty rates, and a declining statewide ranking indicates that North Dodge Elementary may need to address systemic issues and implement targeted interventions to support the specific needs of its student population.
