The '''Department of Defense Education Activity''' ('''DoDEA''') is a federal school system headquartered in [[Alexandria, Virginia]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dodea.edu/newsroom/contact.cfm|title=Contact Us|publisher=Department of Defense Education Activity|accessdate=2022-07-05|quote=DoDEA Headquarters Department of Defense Education Activity 4800 Mark Center Drive Alexandria, VA 22350-1400}}</ref> responsible for planning, directing, coordinating, and managing prekindergarten through 12th grade educational programs on behalf of the [[United States Department of Defense]] (DoD). DoDEA is globally positioned, operating 163 accredited schools in 8 districts located in 11 foreign countries, 7 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico.<ref name="DoDEA">{{cite web |title=About DoDEA |url=https://www.dodea.edu/aboutDoDEA/index.cfm |publisher=Department of Defense Education Activity |access-date=15 June 2019}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>

DoDEA employs 15,000 employees who serve 71,000 children of [[active duty]] military and DoD civilian families.<ref name="DoDEA"/>

DoDEA operates as a field activity of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness). It is headed by a director who oversees all agency functions from DoDEA headquarters in Alexandria. DoDEA's schools are divided into 3 geographic areas: Europe, the Pacific, and the Americas.<ref name="DoDEA"/>

It is one of two U.S. federal government school systems, along with the [[Bureau of Indian Education]] (BIE).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bia.gov/as-ia/opa/online-press-release/education-public-safety-and-restoration-environment|title=Education, Public Safety, And Restoration Of The Environment|publisher=[[Bureau of Indian Affairs]]|accessdate=2021-07-29}}</ref>

== History ==
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).<ref name="DoDEA"/> Shortly thereafter, the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DoDEA_Logo.png official DoDEA logo] was created by DoDEA Art Director, Calvin Bohner, in 1998.

== Activities ==
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.<ref name="DoDEA"/>

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.<ref name="DoDEA"/>

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.<ref name="DoDEA"/>

==Operations==
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".<ref name=Hester>{{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}}</ref>

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.<ref name=Milprosp>{{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}}</ref>

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."<ref name=MervoshDoDEA2023>{{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}}</ref> 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."<ref name=MervoshDoDEA2023/> 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]].<ref name=LeonhardtDoDEA2023>{{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}}</ref>

==Academic achievement==
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."<ref>{{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}}</ref>

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.<ref>"[http://www.dodea.edu/Americas/index.cfm DoDEA Americas Region Web Pages.]</ref>
