Ida Flood Dodge Traditional Middle Magnet School Reviews
Quality Score: 5 Post Date:2008-08-29
“This is the best school I have ever been to. I am a 7th Grader, and this is great. This is truly a school of academic excellence. EVEN MY SPELLING IN THIS REVIEW IS CORRECT! I am Daniel McClelland, the would-be 3rd place winner of the Pima County Spelling Bee! The teachers here are very nice, the principal is very nice, and it is so good, that there is no general G.A.T.E. class required! Instead, there is 7th Grade Math Accelerated, and there is G.A.T.E. Language Arts, which is only 5th period. There have been maybe only one incident in the school, although I do not know for sure, because this is only my 2nd year a Dodge.” This review was posted by a student.

“My child is an 8th grader and had an outstanding experience at Dodge. The teachers challenge the kids, but are willing to work with them to ensure they succeed. The sports program is very successful and the Band is amazing. Both administrators are extremely approachable and attend every function and athletic event. My child is well prepared for a college-prep high school experience because of the standards established at Dodge.” This review was posted by a parent.

“The school is great. My child is learning to and above his potential. Teachers are very creative. Have only had 1 problem. This issue has been address to the Principal, not sure if anything has been resolved. I would recommend this school to everyone. I am so glad that I decided to place my child here when they he was selected. The parent involvement is very high. They have a great music department. The band is the greatest I have ever seen in a middle school. They seem to prepare the children for higher level of education. The dress code could be enforced more. If you are going to have a dress code it need to be enforced consistantly.” This review was posted by a parent.

“We have found Dodge Middle to school to have the highest standards for student academic performance. Our son is constantly challenged and opportunities abound for him to work to his potential. The teachers are creative and his homework and classroom activities are very effective and valuable. There are a great variety of fine art opportunities as well as sports for the students. There are 2 levels of orchestra and 3 levels of band, and the music director, Julia White, is one of the finest in Tucson. Sports programs abound, and any student with desire can find and outlet for their ability. Parent involvement is great at Dodge, and the success of the students is a great indicator of the benefits of this. Because of the magnet school status, only students who have gone through an application process are able to attend Dodge, which weeds out unmotivated students and parents.” This review was posted by a parent.

“The academic programs are very good for the most part and art music and sports are very accessible. The level of parent involvement is very low and the Parent Advisory Committee is not very interested in having more parent input.” This review was posted by a parent.
