Summary

Dorris Place Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 230 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, notable for its effectiveness in supporting its high-need student population.

The school demonstrates significant strengths, particularly in helping students from low-income families succeed, outperforming nearby schools like Aragon Avenue Elementary and Glassell Park Elementary School Sci Technical Engr Arts and Math Magnet which have similar demographics. Its sixth-grade math scores are exceptional, far exceeding district and state averages and outperforming peers at Solano Avenue Elementary. Furthermore, the school achieves these results while spending less per student than several surrounding schools, indicating efficient use of resources. Attendance has also improved markedly in recent years.

Areas for attention include a notable performance gap where female students are scoring lower than male students, and science proficiency, while above average, lags behind schools like Elysian Heights Elementary School Arts Magnet. The school's overall ranking has shown some fluctuation year-to-year compared to more stable schools like Clifford Street Elementary Math & Technology Magnet. There is also a striking difference in math performance between third and sixth grades, suggesting a strong growth trajectory through the upper elementary years.
