The new Admin have bought in a (First 10 and last 10 extra assignment) for every class. On top of your normal class work and assignments. If you are representing your School for a Sport and miss this your grade immediately drops by 10 percent. No one knows why they are doing it. It lowers students GPA. And no study hall to make it up because they don't offer that.A friend of my Students grades dropped horribly because of this and failed numerous classes. My Student nearly failed also. Maybe to stop kids from skipping class but it punishes everyone. There is huge room for error and students grades dropping by huge percentages. They also lock bathrooms at the School. Which makes it hard for children to access bathrooms which is a basic human rights need. They have Awesome Sports Coaches and Teachers. And then there are the gangster kids. Unfortunately they are there. There were times when I felt unsafe. There are normal kids and IB kids also who are great.

This school is trash, administration has absolutely no control over students. Children are allowed to leave campus after arriving on buses and there are constant fights here. We definitely experienced discrimination while attending the school. Teachers will let your children fail classes before reaching out and usually by then it's too late. If they label your child as a problem child expect a call every single day whether it was your child or not. I'm glad the school is being ripped down. Zero policies are put in place for students and bullying, not a safe school

I have to say that my son is new to Dodson Elementary. He has a speech delay and has always been placed in classes where I feel like he is ignored. However, at Dodson, we felt that he is so happy with his class and his teacher. Mrs. Robert really makes him feel comfortable and she is so friendly. I truly believe that she understands him in a way no other teacher has before. Also the office staff is so nice and helpful.
