Because it is the only school in the list, Dolores Huerta is the sole measured school, not a meaningful local top or bottom performer. It was above California’s all-grades results in ELA (52% versus 49%) and math (41% versus 38%), as well as science. Compared with Burbank Unified, however, the school was 5 percentage points lower in ELA (52% versus 57%) and 7 points lower in math (41% versus 48%), while science was 3 points higher (47% versus 44%). Grade-level results add detail: math was above state results in grades 6–8, while ELA was above state results in grades 6 and 7 but 2 points below in grade 8.
Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 2 percentage points, math 5 points, and science 2 points. Math made the clearest progress relative to the state, moving from 1 point below to 3 points above. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile climbed from 64 to 69 over three years. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 24.3 in 2024–2025 and 31% free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
