Summary:

The Dodson K-12 school district in Montana consists of three schools: Dodson School (elementary), Dodson High School, and Dodson 7-8 (middle school). Unfortunately, the data indicates that all three schools are performing poorly compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in core academic subjects and low overall rankings within the state.

The Dodson K-12 district as a whole is ranked 367 out of 387 districts in Montana and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. All three schools have very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with the schools' statewide rankings being among the lowest in the state. Additionally, all three schools have a 100% rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The small student enrollments, ranging from 16 to 38 students per school, may present unique challenges in terms of resource allocation, staffing, and program offerings. The consistently poor performance across all grade levels suggests a systemic issue within the Dodson K-12 district, rather than isolated problems at specific grade levels. The lack of improvement over time further highlights the need for the district to implement comprehensive strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
