Department of Defense Education Activity

Shortly after the end of World War II, the United States military established schools for the children of its servicemembers stationed in Europe and the Pacific. Schools for children of military members stationed at various bases in the United States were already well-established. First administered by the military branches they served, the growing number of schools was soon transferred to civilian managers, then organized into two separate but parallel systems: the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (Pacific and Europe) overseas, and the Department of Defense Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools (Americas) in the United States. In 1994 the two systems were brought together under an umbrella agency, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). Shortly thereafter, the DoDEA logo was created by DoDEA Art Director, Calvin Bohner, in 1998.

The DoDEA instructional program provides a prekindergarten through 12th grade curriculum. Currently 100% of DoDEA schools are accredited and in good standing with their regional accrediting agency. Students consistently achieve high scores in the National Assessment of Educational Progress and above the national average on standardized assessments. Minority students have been especially successful, scoring at or near the highest in the United States in mathematics.

DoDEA measures student progress with multiple performance-based assessments. The TerraNova standardized test provides DoDEA with results that it can compare to a nationwide sample. DoDEA students also take the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which provides comparisons of student achievement in reading, writing, math, and science. All DoDEA schools are accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI) or the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), which provide each school with an independent evaluation.

Schools submit annual reports of data, and every five years they host an on-site validation visit led by education experts from the United States. Following the on-site visits, the experts send a report that includes recommendations for improvements to each of the schools visited. DoDEA conducts internal monitoring of educational programs to ensure high-quality implementation of new programs and overall effectiveness of existing programs. Monitoring activities may include, but are not limited to the following activities: surveys, interviews, focus groups, classroom observations and the analysis of achievement and training data. Currently{{As of?|date=May 2024}} 100% of DoDEA schools are accredited and in good standing.

In 2008 the U.S. Congress published a study stating that decreased military budgets resulted in 70% of the DoDEA schools having campuses in less than ideal physical condition, with their conditions specifically noted as either "poor" or "failing".{{cite web|last=Hester|first=Wesley P.|url=https://richmond.com/news/military-schools-make-do/article_4cc279b5-4065-58f8-9dd3-b6d1cbca9607.html|title=Military schools 'make do' |newspaper=Richmond Times-Dispatch|date=2011-10-02|accessdate=2021-08-13}}

A 2015 editorial of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune noted that schools in the DoDEA, were well funded, partly due to post-September 11 attacks security concerns and partly because of the size of the DOD itself, as well as the leadership of Robert Gates, who served as the Secretary of Defense. The Star-Tribune contrasted this with the lesser-funded Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) network, also federal and serving Native American students.{{cite web|url=https://www.startribune.com:443/part-4-while-tribal-schools-suffer-military-schools-prosper/285642951/|title=While tribal schools suffer, military schools prosper|newspaper=Minneapolis Star-Tribune|date=2015-04-02|accessdate=2021-08-13}}

Sarah Mervosh of The New York Times, citing National Assessment of Educational Progress scores and performance levels of racial minorities, wrote in 2023 that DoDEA campuses "quietly achieve results most educators can only dream of."{{cite web|last=Mervosh|first=Sarah|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/10/us/schools-pandemic-defense-department.html|title=Who Runs the Best U.S. Schools? It May Be the Defense Department.|newspaper=The New York Times|date=2023-10-10|access-date=2023-10-25}} The nature of military employment means that students have parents with jobs and support structures, and according to Mervosh, the DoDEA campuses are "well-funded, socioeconomically and racially integrated, and have a centralized structure that is not subject to the whims of school boards or mayors." That year, David Leonhardt, also of The New York Times, wrote that the DoDEA "has been performing well for years and continued to do so during" the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web|last=Leonhardt|first=David|author-link=David Leonhardt|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/10/briefing/defense-department-public-schools.html|title=The Nation's Top-Performing Public School System |newspaper=The New York Times|date=2023-10-10|access-date=2023-10-25}}

On February 7, 2025 the DoDEA issued a statement that it would be removing "books potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics" in its schools, resulting in a list of titles to be reviewed that include The Kite Runner, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, and Brave New World.{{Cite web |title=ALA, AASL decry U.S. Defense Department censorship of schools and libraries on military installations {{!}} ALA |url=https://www.ala.org/news/2025/02/ala-aasl-decry-us-defense-department-censorship-schools-and-libraries-military |access-date=2025-03-29 |website=www.ala.org |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=ltolin |date=2025-02-19 |title=Julianne Moore's 'Freckleface Strawberry' and JD Vance's ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ among books caught in Defense Department Review |url=https://pen.org/julianne-moore-freckleface-strawberry/ |access-date=2025-03-29 |website=PEN America |language=en-US}}

In 2001 the Government Accountability Office (GAO) wrote "The academic achievement of DOD students, as measured by their performance on standardized tests and their plans for enrolling in college, generally exceeds that of elementary and secondary students nationwide. On college admission tests, DOD students score at or near national averages."{{cite web|url=https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-934/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-934.htm|title=BIA and DOD Schools: Student Achievement and Other Characteristics Often Differ from Public Schools'|publisher=Government Accountability Office|date=2001-09-28|accessdate=2021-08-03}}

Headquartered in Peachtree City, Georgia, in the Atlanta metropolitan area, DoDEA Americas is divided into 2 school districts (Americas Mid-Atlantic and Americas Southeast) and operates 51 schools at 16 military communities on the U.S. mainland, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. As of May 2019, it educates approximately 22,000 students of U.S. military and eligible DoD civilian personnel families."[http://www.dodea.edu/Americas/index.cfm DoDEA Americas Region Web Pages.]
