Dool Elementary

Calexico is a tight-knit border city in California's Imperial Valley, deeply connected to its Mexican-American heritage and the sister city of Mexicali just across the line. Dool Elementary serves this community in one of the more economically challenging corners of the state, and families here are navigating real obstacles — the school's academics are a work in progress, with English and math scores among the lower ranges statewide, though science shows some relative strength. For families in the area, understanding where to seek additional academic support and enrichment outside the classroom will be an important part of the picture.
