Dolores Huerta Elementary

Summary:

Dolores Huerta Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lennox, California, serving 527 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Lennox District, which is ranked 827 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dolores Huerta Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past several years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the Lennox district and California state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in Mathematics, with proficiency rates consistently lagging behind the district and state, especially in the upper grades. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups have performed relatively better, with rankings in the top half of California schools in recent years.

Dolores Huerta Elementary faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism and a very high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the nearby Jefferson Elementary, Buford Elementary, Moffett Elementary, and Felton Elementary schools generally perform better on academic measures, they also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that the challenges faced by Dolores Huerta Elementary are not unique to the school.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
