Dodson K-12

Located at 124 First Ave W in Dodson, Montana, Dodson K-12 is an active, independent regular public school district serving a remote rural community in the northern part of the state. Operating three educational facilities, the district provides an inclusive, continuous academic pipeline spanning from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Positioned within a tight-knit geographic setting, Dodson K-12 offers local families a stable and supportive learning environment designed to nurture young learners from early childhood through high school graduation.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the district serves a focused student body of 78 enrolled children, defined by a vibrant cultural identity anchored predominantly by American Indian students alongside White, Hispanic, Black, and multiracial peers.
