of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 9% of California elementary schools

Summary

Dolores Huerta Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 453 students in the Stockton Unified district, operating in a high-needs community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of all California schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are well below both district and state averages. It has the highest student-teacher ratio (over 34 students per teacher) among 11 nearby schools and spends less per student than most of its neighbors, including charter schools like TEAM Charter and Voices College Bound Language Academy at Stockton. While its chronic absenteeism rate of 27.6% is an improvement from previous years and is better than some nearby schools like Hazelton Elementary, it remains a concern.

Performance varies by grade, with some bright spots like 3rd-grade math, but critical weaknesses in areas like 7th-grade math. A telling comparison is with San Joaquin Elementary, a nearby school with similar demographics and resources that achieves significantly higher academic rankings, suggesting factors like school culture or instructional quality can impact outcomes. Within the Stockton Unified district, Dolores Huerta performs worse than most peers, ranking 7th out of 8 nearby district schools.
