While Dodson High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, its academic performance is inconsistent, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than others compared to the Winn Parish district and the state of Louisiana. The school's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally lower than the district and state averages, but it does outperform in certain areas, such as 4th grade English Language Arts.
The high free/reduced lunch rate of 67.59% at Dodson High School suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to its academic performance. To address these challenges and improve student outcomes, a comprehensive school improvement plan may be necessary, leveraging the potential strengths of smaller class sizes and targeted interventions to support the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
