Summary

Dodd Elementary in Wylie, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 607 students as part of the highly-rated Wylie Independent School District (Isd), consistently earning 4 or 5 stars and ranking in the 90th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional support of students with special needs, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for Special Education students in recent years, a remarkable achievement that significantly outperforms nearby schools like R V Groves Elementary and R F Hartman Elementary. While Dodd is a strong performer, it serves a more economically diverse population than its highest-performing district peers, with about 42% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, compared to under 20% at schools like Tibbals Elementary and Don Whitt Elementary, which consistently rank in the 99th percentile.

Dodd's overall state ranking has shown a positive trajectory over the past decade, climbing from the 85th percentile to a peak at the 96th percentile in 2023-2024, though it recently dipped to the 90th percentile in 2025-2026. This slight decline contrasts with nearby schools like Rita Smith Elementary, which rose to the 98th percentile, and T F Birmingham Elementary, which jumped from the 83rd to the 93rd percentile. A notable area for attention is 4th-grade math, where Dodd's proficiency rate of 73% is well above the state average but significantly below the district average of 81%, a trend that has persisted for three years. This contrasts with its strong 3rd-grade math scores, suggesting a potential challenge in the transition to 4th-grade curriculum.

Compared to the out-of-district neighbor Boggess Elementary in Plano Independent School District (Isd), which also ranks in the 91st percentile but serves a much less economically disadvantaged population, Dodd's ability to achieve similar results with a more diverse student body is a testament to its effectiveness. Dodd's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are average for the district, suggesting its strong performance stems from effective instructional practices and school culture rather than higher funding. Overall, Dodd Elementary is a reliable, above-average school that excels at supporting diverse learners, making it a solid choice for families seeking a balanced educational environment within a high-performing district.
