Summary

Dolores Huerta Middle serves 931 students in grades 6–8 in Burbank, within Burbank Unified. Compared with ten nearby middle schools serving the same grades, its results are around the middle in English and math, but notably stronger in science. Science is the school’s clearest strength: 47% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 36% statewide and 44% in the district.

English and math proficiency were both above state results but below district results. ELA was 52%, 3 percentage points above the state and 5 below the district; math was 41%, 3 points above the state and 7 below the district. Huerta was fifth-lowest among the 11 schools for both subjects and close to the nearby-school averages. In science, it ranked fourth-highest. Within the school, eighth-grade ELA stands out as a concern: 48% were proficient, 7 points below seventh grade, and only three nearby schools had lower eighth-grade results.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, especially in science: proficiency rose 15 points, compared with a 6-point increase in ELA and a 4-point increase in math. SchoolDigger ranks Huerta 837th of 2,703 California schools, at the 69th percentile with 3 stars for 2025–2026. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 24.3, among the highest in the nearby group. In that school year, 31% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-lowest share among nearby schools with comparable measures.
