Terribly displeased with this school. There are now no after school activities, they go on no field trips, the teachers are completely unable to handle their classes, there are too many distractions in the loud classrooms, am transferring my child next week.

We have 2nd and 3rd grade boys who've been at Dodge since kindergarten. My kids are very bright. The teachers and support staff have been very good at keeping them challenged and not letting them slip through the cracks. We especially appreciated the principal's wisdom as we tried to work out the best scenario for our kindergarten student last year as he switched to 2nd grade this year. The PTA and student council are active and there are extras like chess club, just say no club, after school kids club, and more. I'd recommend Dodge to anyone.
