Summary

Dodge County High School in Eastman, GA, serves approximately 809 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Dodge County school district. The school has earned a consistent 2-star rating over the past five years, ranking 285th out of 455 Georgia high schools (37th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

The most impressive story at Dodge County High is its graduation rate. At 96.7% for 2024-2025, the school outperforms the state average (87.2%) by nearly 10 percentage points and has stayed above 93% for five straight years. This is notably higher than nearby West Laurens High School (92.1%) and Hawkinsville High School (91.3%). The school also keeps students engaged—chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 24.1% in 2021-2022 to just 9.4% in 2025-2026, now well below the state average of 17.7% and among the lowest in the region. The dropout rate sits at a low 1.5%, better than both district and state averages.

Academically, the picture is mixed but shows some bright spots. Biology has been a relative strength, with a 50.8% proficiency rate in 2024-2025 that exceeded the state average, though it dipped to 35.3% in 2025-2026—still ahead of the district. Algebra I proficiency has improved dramatically from a low of 7.9% in 2022-2023 to 30% in 2025-2026. However, American Literature and U.S. History scores remain below state averages. The school outperforms its own district in every subject tested, suggesting it is a strength within the Dodge County system. Compared to regional peers, Dodge County sits in the middle—it trails Bleckley County High School (73rd percentile) and West Laurens High School (84th percentile) but outperforms Hawkinsville High School (13th percentile). Notably, the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($11,703) than several nearby schools that post similar or lower outcomes, suggesting efficient use of resources. The recent jump in free/reduced lunch eligibility (from 67.75% to 96.29%) reflects a significant economic shift in the student population, which may help explain some academic challenges.
