DODD CITY SCHOOL

DODD CITY SCHOOL is a Title I public school that is part of the DODD CITY ISD school district, located in DODD CITY, TX with about 374 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
