Welcome to Dorr Elementary School, also known as The Golden Rule school where academic achievement and strong character values are equally valued. The Dorr Dragon mission of “every child, every chance, every day” put into action results in the highest standards for academic achievement. From kindergarten- Grade 5, each student may expect an education with the best research-proven practices offered in a caring, nurturing environment. At Dorr Elementary School, we are proud to call our parents and community members partners – together, we provide every student with a wide variety of educational opportunities to further their personal and academic development. From the highly celebrated Walk of Fame, that encourages student reading, to Terrific Tuesdays, now a summer tradition, teachers mix dedication with fun for learning.
The Ohio Department of Education has recognized Dorr Elementary as an EFFECTIVE elementary school based on the student achievement test scores during the 2008-2009 school year. Dorr also raised its Performance Index rating to 99.2!
