Howells-Dodge Elementary School/Dodge consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for the grades tested, indicating a strong focus on academic excellence. The school's spending per student of $23,951 is significantly higher than the state average, which could contribute to the school's success. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, from 53rd out of 457 in 2021-2022 to 95th out of 428 in 2023-2024, suggesting changes in the school's performance or the overall performance of other schools in the state.
One area of concern is the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which could impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (39.29%) suggests the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could also influence student outcomes. Despite these challenges, Howells-Dodge Elementary School/Dodge appears to be a strong-performing school within its district and the state, with a focus on providing a high-quality education to its students.
