Summary:
The city of Dodson, Montana is home to three small schools: Dodson School (an elementary school), Dodson High School, and Dodson 7-8 (a middle school). These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population and face significant challenges, with low enrollments, poor state-wide rankings, and limited resources.
None of the Dodson schools stand out as clear standouts, as they all have very small student populations ranging from 16 to 45 students. The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly Native American, making up between 62.5% and 84.44% of the student bodies. Academically, the Dodson schools perform poorly, with all three receiving 0 out of 5 stars from the state's SchoolDigger rankings, indicating they are among the lowest-performing schools in Montana.
The Dodson school district, operated by the Dodson K-12 district, faces significant challenges in supporting its students. With small enrollments, predominantly Native American populations, and extremely low state-wide rankings, the Dodson schools require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve educational outcomes and opportunities for the community's children.
