About Dodge County Schools
Dodge County Schools follows a countywide age-banded route for 2,557 K–12 students: Dodge County Primary for the earliest grades, Dodge County Elementary for grades three through five, Dodge County Middle and Dodge County High. Students do not divide among competing secondary clusters.
Dodge Achievement Center appears beside the regular schools as a grades 6–12 setting for students who have had difficulty succeeding in the traditional environment. It is an alternative placement with a different educational purpose, not another residentially assigned middle or high school. Its presence expands the district’s response to individual needs without changing the ordinary countywide feeder line.
The school names make the standard route easy to trace, but the word “Center” needs interpretation. A student is not assigned there because of residence in a particular part of Dodge County. The distinction is between the four successive county schools used by the general population and a secondary intervention setting reached through separate placement decisions.
