Dakota Community Unit School District No. 201 includes students from the villages of Dakota, Davis, Rock City, Rock Grove and Lake Summerset (Stephenson County residents only).^[8] Even though the village of Davis has a larger population,^[9] because the village of Dakota is the most centrally located community, its name was given to the new union. All students within the CUSD attend Dakota Elementary prior to attending the high school.

The Indians compete in the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference. They participate in several IHSA sponsored athletics and activities, including; football, girls' volleyball, boys' and girls' basketball, wrestling, boys' and girls' golf, boys' and girls' track and field, boys' baseball, girls' softball, speech, and music.^{[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]}
