Middle Schools in Dodson K-12

The Dodson K-12 school district in Montana is home to a single middle school, Dodson 7-8, which serves grades 7 and 8. This small school, with just 16 students, has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state over the past three years, with proficiency rates well below the state average in both mathematics and reading.

Dodson 7-8 has a predominantly Native American student population, making up 62.5% of the student body, with smaller percentages of White students (31.25%) and students of two or more races (6.25%). The school does not have any African American, Hispanic, Asian, or Pacific Islander students, indicating a lack of diversity. This lack of diversity may suggest the need to address potential barriers to enrollment or retention for these student groups.

The challenges faced by Dodson 7-8 are not isolated to the school itself, as the Dodson K-12 district is ranked 285 out of 300 school districts in Montana and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the performance issues at Dodson 7-8 are likely reflective of broader systemic challenges within the district, which may require comprehensive, district-wide interventions and support to address.
