Elementary Schools in Dodge County

Summary:

The elementary schools in Dodge County, Georgia, are struggling to meet the academic needs of their students. The district is home to two elementary schools: Dodge County Primary School and Dodge County Elementary School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average on various academic measures, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.

According to the data, neither school stands out as an exceptional performer. Both Dodge County Primary School and Dodge County Elementary School are ranked 157 out of 206 school districts in Georgia and are rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Additionally, Dodge County Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined from 638 out of 1,248 schools in 2023-2024 to 738 out of 1,238 schools in 2024-2025, indicating a relative worsening of performance compared to other schools in the state.

The data also reveals that both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 89% for both Dodge County Primary School and Dodge County Elementary School. This high poverty level may contribute to the challenges these schools face in improving academic outcomes. Targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these students could be crucial in enhancing the educational experience and performance of the elementary schools in Dodge County.
