Summary

Helen L. Dollahan Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 608 students in the Rialto Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school shows an encouraging upward trend, improving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating this year, and its performance is competitive within the district. In mathematics, Helen L. Dollahan Elementary outperforms the district average and most nearby schools, including Sam V. Curtis Elementary and George H. Dunn Elementary, while performing close to the district average in English. The school demonstrates particular strength with English Language Learner students and shows strong results in 3rd grade. A notable area for focus is 4th-grade math, where scores dip significantly.

The school's most standout strength is its exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism at 14.2%, which is dramatically better than the Rialto Unified average of 23.1% and lower than all nearby schools in both Rialto and Fontana Unified. This strong attendance is a critical foundation for learning. Furthermore, the school achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than several district peers, such as Lida M. Henry Elementary, indicating efficient use of resources.
