Summary

Dolores Huerta Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 529 students in the Lennox School District, a community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school presents a mixed picture, with some clear strengths alongside academic challenges. A major positive is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.5%, which is better than both the district and state averages and the best among comparable local schools like Jefferson Elementary and Buford Elementary. The school also shows remarkable effectiveness with specific groups, earning 4-star ratings for its Special Education and Homeless student populations. However, its overall academic performance has been inconsistent, currently ranking in the 35th percentile statewide, which is lower than other Lennox elementary schools. There is also a notable gap in science proficiency, and performance drops significantly in the 4th grade compared to other grades.

Interestingly, the school's performance peaked strongly in the 2022-2023 school year before declining, even as per-student spending increased substantially. This means the school has significant resources and proven success in supporting vulnerable students and getting them to attend school regularly, but it is working to translate those strengths into more consistent academic achievement across all subjects and grade levels compared to neighboring schools in Hawthorne and Inglewood Unified.
