Summary

Dodd City School is a small, rural PK-12 school in Dodd City, TX, serving 308 students as the sole campus of the Dodd City Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its perfect graduation and zero dropout rates over the last five years.

This school’s most remarkable achievement is its 100% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, a rare feat that shows every student is supported through to completion. High school students consistently outperform state averages on End-of-Course exams, especially in Biology (92.86% proficient vs. 70.51% statewide) and U.S. History (95% vs. 70.17%). Elementary science is also a strength, with 5th-grade scores more than double the state average. However, middle school math is a clear area of concern: 7th-grade math had 0% proficiency in the most recent year, and 6th-grade math lagged at 15% proficient, compared to state averages of 29.41% and 38.57%, respectively. This contrasts sharply with 8th-grade math, where students excel at 70.37% proficient vs. 47.24% statewide, suggesting a targeted issue in the middle grades.

The school’s small size—with only about 22 students per grade on average—means that year-to-year score swings can be dramatic, as a few students can shift percentages significantly. This also allows for strong individualized attention, which likely contributes to the high school’s stellar outcomes. With no other schools within 20 miles for comparison, Dodd City School is a community anchor that excels in humanities and science but needs to address a math curriculum gap in 6th and 7th grades to become a fully comprehensive academic powerhouse.
