I went to Dodds and now my brother is attending there. I feel that it is a very great school. I learned a lot and the teachers where very helpful. I remember in Kindergarten we all learned to count to 100 (the 100 club) and by first grade we were counting to 1000! The teachers always found new and fun ways to teach us everything we needed to know for high school and most of the time, we learned a lot more.
I wouldn't send my kids to this school again. I would move out of the district first. Was not impressed at all! Math at this school a joke.The other post was right when they leave this School they are so far behind other students in math. The kids are grading each others papers and not showing their work in math. If you are not required to show your work in math how will the teacher know where you were having trouble.Trouble with one teacher for each class 5th-8th,you have this same math teacher 5th -8th no chance of getting it!
I feel that the school needs a lot of improvement. It seems to me that the principal and the teachers here do not care enough about there students. The teachers just pass the students no matter if they are ready for the next grade or not. The math dep needs a lot of help, the teacher does not help the kids in this subject at all.
Love the School and most of the teachers went there myself. Not Fond of the current Principal not sticking to certain policy and procedures. Do need to work on their Math Dept. alot of kids not prepared for High School in this subject.
I dont think the teachers give enough attention where and when needed per idividual student
Excellent staff. Kids are number 1.
