Summary

Dolores Street Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified school serving 370 students in grades K–5 in Carson, where families can compare it with several nearby elementary schools. In 2025–2026, 42% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 40% in mathematics and 27% in science. The most important finding is that Dolores scored below the average of the seven nearby K–5 schools in all three subjects.

Mathematics is the school’s strongest result against the state and district: its 40% proficiency rate was one percentage point above the state and essentially level with Los Angeles Unified. ELA was weaker, at 42% compared with 49% statewide and 48% districtwide; science was lowest, at 27% compared with 36% statewide and 32% districtwide. The nearby K–5 averages were 51% in ELA, 48% in math and 36% in science, leaving Dolores about 9 percentage points below in each subject. Results vary by grade: fifth-grade ELA was 49%, almost exactly the state’s 49%, while math was below the state in grades 3 and 5 but slightly above it in grade 4.

Results have shifted over time rather than moving steadily: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell about 1 percentage point, math fell about 3, and science rose about 7, though science dropped from 33% in 2024–2025 to 27% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger gives Dolores the 49th percentile and 2 stars; its percentile rose from 27 in 2014–2015, but the nearby K–5 average is 64. A notable subgroup result is SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking: it fell from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 4th in 2024–2025, while the school’s overall percentile that year was 54—a measure of relative statewide standing in serving that group. The student-teacher ratio was 21.7 in 2024–2025, compared with a 20.3 average among nearby K–5 schools. In that year, 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, versus 81% across those nearby schools; California is identified as a statewide-free-meals state, so this eligibility figure does not indicate whether students can receive free meals.
