Fantastic school. Can't say enough about it. We love everything about it. The teachers really care about the children
I have 3 children who attend Dodge. I absolutely love the teachers and staff, as well as the curriculum. It shows how much they truly care for the children and their education, not just by test scores or their speech, but by my childrens and others behavior toward the school, the staff, and fellow students. I couldn't imagine my kids going anywhere else.
a really great to be in my son is in middle school now and he loved this school
I hate this school because my son cant get a advanced program.Hes a straight A student and they wont do anything.
My child is in 1st grade and I am really disappointed this year with Dodge. There seems to be a problem with bulling and other bad behavior that is not being addressed by the school.
I have 2 children at Dodge. I absolutely love it! My daughter will be in the PACE program next year. The teachers have been so sensitive to her development from the beginning that I believe that they are a big part of the reason she will be in that program. My son just finished his first year and I am amazed at how well he reads and is motivated to do his very best. I look for him to move on up to PACE later. Our new principal is fantastic! She has brought some new programs to the school that the kids are very excited about (running club). We are so proud to be part of the Dodge family! Parents are so welcome to be part of the school. We love it.
Kristen Rice was our daughter's teacher last year and it was the best experience of our daughter's school life so far. She completely changed the outlook of our daughter and we love her for that. I just hope the rest of her school experience will be that great. Our negative experience was with the school bus and the atmosphere and conduct of the children. The school refused and the transportation department refused to handle the situation.
Dodge is a great school. I have 2 children who have attended this school for the past 4 years. My children both love the AMSTI program and seem to have learned a lot using the hands on approach involved with this program. I would recommend this school to anyone as long as you don't need the special education program for 4th or 5th grade.
We have been so impressed with Dodge Elementary. There is so much parent involvement. Every teacher that we have dealt with has been great. Parents are truly proud to say that kids attend this school.
I have one child that attends Dodge Elementary and have had a great experience with him for the past three years!! I was even considering placing my second child in a magnet school because of his intelligence, but found Dodge to be just as challenging (especially in the PACE program). Our family will be Dodge Eagles for years to come!
