Summary

Levi P. Dodge Middle School is a public middle school located in Farmington, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 687 students. The school is part of the Farmington Public School District, which is ranked 246 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Levi P. Dodge Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 40% of Minnesota middle schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 239 out of 519 schools. However, the school's performance on MCA-III assessments is generally below the state and district averages in both math and reading, with proficiency rates ranging from 30-50% across grade levels and subject areas. Compared to nearby schools, such as Century Middle School and Kenwood Trail Middle School in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district, Levi P. Dodge Middle School's academic performance is lower, with those schools consistently scoring above 50% proficiency in math and reading.

The school has a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of minority students, including Asian (8%), African American (7%), Hispanic (10%), and Multi-racial (5%) students. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (27.8% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and a more equitable and inclusive approach to education.
