Summary

Dolores Street Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 370 students in Carson, part of the Los Angeles Unified district, and has shown steady improvement over the last decade, now ranking in the 54th percentile statewide.

The school has notable strengths, including outperforming both the district and state in Mathematics and making a dramatic improvement in reducing chronic student absences, now having one of the lowest rates among nearby schools. It is particularly effective for Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, ranking well above average for similar schools statewide. However, performance is uneven, with a large gap between strong 4th-grade results and weaker 5th-grade scores, and a significant one-year decline in support for special education students that the school will need to address.

Compared to neighbors, Dolores Street spends more per student than most, including the higher-performing Two Hundred Thirty-Second Place Elementary. While it generally outperforms other local schools like Caroldale Learning Community and the charter Scholarship Prep - South Bay, its inconsistent results across grades and student groups highlight areas for continued focus alongside its successes.
