Dolores Huerta Elementary

Summary:

Dolores Huerta Elementary is a public K-8 school in Stockton, California, serving 475 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dolores Huerta Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates (30-47.7%), very low academic performance on standardized tests (only 16.39% proficient in English Language Arts/Literacy compared to 28.71% for the Stockton Unified district and 47.04% for California), and a student population that is over 90% economically disadvantaged. The school's student-teacher ratio is also high, ranging from 22.8 to 31.6, above district and state averages. Interestingly, nearby McKinley Elementary, Taylor Leadership Academy, and John Marshall Elementary also perform poorly, suggesting systemic issues within the Stockton Unified district.

In contrast, the two charter schools in the area, Stockton Collegiate International Elementary and Voices College Bound Language Academy, generally perform better than the traditional public schools on academic measures, indicating that alternative educational models may be more effective in this context. Addressing the complex challenges faced by Dolores Huerta Elementary and other schools in the district will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that considers the broader socioeconomic and community-level factors impacting student learning and engagement.

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.
