My son is in third grade at Dodd and is having a great year. His teachers and the principal have been very responsive to problems and concerns with academics and discipline. I applaud their efforts and professionalism in the academic arena and think of them very highly.

About the tests

TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
