GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Dogwood has met above my standards as a parent. I have been extremely pleased to send my kids here and to be apart of a community that is loving a caring to all of the children. I love that this sweet school is not political and not involved in complaining on social media platforms. They are focused on learning!
