Summary

Dorris Place Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified public school in Los Angeles serving 230 students in grades K–6. In 2025–2026, students met or exceeded state and district proficiency rates in English, math, and science, though the school ranked around the middle of its nearby group—a strong broad comparison, but not a local lead.

The school’s results are above state and district levels in all three subjects: 60% of students were proficient in English, 50% in math, and 47% in science. Those rates were 11, 11, and 11 percentage points above California, and 11, 10, and 15 points above Los Angeles Unified, respectively. Against nearby same-district schools, science was its strongest relative result: Dorris Place was 6 points above the local average and ranked fourth of nine. It ranked fifth in English and math; math was its weakest local comparison, just 2 points above the nearby average. Grade-level results add contrast: sixth graders reached 70% proficiency in both English and math, while fifth-grade math was 41%, 6 points below its local average but 4 points above the state rate. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

Results have generally improved since 2022–2023: English rose 11 points, math 9, and science 4, though progress varied by year. Chronic absenteeism fell from 37% in 2021–2022 to 15% in 2025–2026, below both the state’s 18% and district’s 23%. SchoolDigger ranks Dorris Place 1,530th of 5,804 statewide, at the 74th percentile with 4 stars; its student-teacher ratio is 19.1, close to the nearby average of 18.9. Its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 84% in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby average of 78%. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings also fluctuated: Female Students moved from the 70th percentile in 2023–2024 to 55th and then 69th, while Hispanic Students moved from the 83rd to 66th and then 81st, indicating changing relative results for those groups rather than a consistent difference from the school’s overall standing.
