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.

The school is very diverse and the teachers give you hard work to do to get you ready v for high school. But, the staff were very disrespectful and mean. Also, the y made sure your parents were always up to date with what was happening. Meaning, if you were late to a class, the teacher would put it in and the computer would send a straight phone call home. Overall, it is a very good middle school but it has many flaws.

Dodson is a great middle school you get very good education there are many clubs and electives the teachers help you with whatever you need and the students are all good to each other but there are still those bad behaving children but in every school you have some bad behaving people that's just normal but I think it's a great school and one of the best middle schools you can go to according to my experience at Reducinda Sepulveda Dodson Middle School

Our son just culminated from Dodson. He was in the gifted magnet program and was recently accepted to a high achieving high school. The teachers from 6-8 created a rigorous academic program but not overwhelming. He is well prepared for high school and he felt welcomed and safe on the campus.

Overall I believe this is a good school. The teachers my son had in 6th grade were all great. His 7th grade history teacher assigned an unrealistic amount of homework! Luckily only one other class gave homework even though he's in the gifted program. The first semester he got an A but got burnt out...

The teacher for my 7th grade student made him cry. He gave him too much work and he had a mental breakdown at home. But overall these teachers teach good and know what they are doing
