Dolores Huerta Elementary

Summary:

Dolores Huerta Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 493 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dolores Huerta Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (96.75%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 70.83% to 96.14% Hispanic. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests that are lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 22.45%, compared to the district's 32.84% and the state's 48.85%. Interestingly, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) and special education students perform relatively better than the overall student population.

While Dolores Huerta Elementary faces significant challenges, there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of nearby higher-performing schools within the same district, such as Helbing Elementary and Rufino Mendoza Senior Elementary. Additionally, the school's high poverty rate, with over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its overall low performance, suggesting that targeted interventions and support in core academic areas could help improve student outcomes.

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.
