Summary

Dodgertown Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vero Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 519 students. The school is part of the Indian River District, which is ranked 7th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, Dodgertown Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 44.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Dodgertown Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math around 43-55%, compared to 63-74% for the district. The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 74.76% to 77.95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is notably higher than nearby schools.

Compared to other schools in the Indian River District, Dodgertown Elementary is underperforming, even though it has a relatively high per-student spending ranging from $11,117 to $12,592 over the past few years. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges that are not being effectively addressed, and that the resources may not be allocated in a way that meets the specific needs of the school and its students. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique circumstances of Dodgertown Elementary and its community.
