The district's equity score is 46/100, ranked #122 of 216 in Georgia against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 493.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 48.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Dodge County High School accounts for 29.0% of all Dodge County student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Dodge County-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Dodge County school enrollment varies 16× across entities
Dodge County school enrollment ranges from 51 students (lowest) to 809 students (highest), a spread of 758 students.

The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Dodge County student-counselor ratio is 494:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Dodge County chronic absenteeism rate is 48.6% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Dodge County has 5 schools, including 1 high, 2 combined, 1 elementary, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 2,785 students.
