Summary

Dodge County Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Eastman, Georgia, with 549 students. The school is part of the Dodge County School District, which is ranked 157 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dodge County Elementary consistently underperforms the state average on the Georgia Milestones assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 34.9%. The school also has significantly lower proficiency rates in math and science compared to the state. Additionally, Dodge County Elementary has a very high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at 89.07% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the nearby Southwest Laurens Elementary (71.82%) and Bleckley County Elementary (58.61%).

However, Dodge County Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 in 2023-2024, which is better than the nearby Dodge County Primary (12.7) and Pulaski County Elementary (15.0) schools. This suggests that the school may have opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support programs to help improve student learning and achievement, especially when compared to the higher-performing Bleckley County Elementary, which is only about 15 miles away.
