Susan Miller Dorsey High School is a high school located in the South Los Angeles section of Los Angeles, California.
Dorsey is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school serves Baldwin Hills, Baldwin Village, Leimert Park, and portions of Jefferson Park.
The school first opened in 1937 and currently enrolls an average of 2,400 students. Dorsey High is one of the few predominantly African-American high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, with 58% of its students African American and an additional 40% Hispanic. It is located at 3537 Farmdale Avenue, near Rodeo Road in Baldwin Hills. The school colors are green and white, and its mascots are the Dons (male) and Donnas (female).
Dorsey's most significant rival is Crenshaw High School, commonly referred to as "Coleslaw" amongst Dorsey students. Dorsey is adjacent to View Park Continuation School.
Dorsey has been criticized for its disciplinary problems due to the gang influence around its area (Baldwin Village, more commonly referred to as "the Jungles"). The school is widely known for having exceptional athletic teams, such as football (Coliseum League Champs for the 2006 season), basketball, and track . Dorsey's football games are played in Jackie Robinson Stadium at the nearby Rancho La Cienega Park. Star athletes Jordan Hamilton, (ranked number 5 in the country for basketball in the class of 2009), Omari Johnson (one of the best basketball players for the graduating class of 2007) and star guard Justin Wilson (number 5 guard for the graduating class of 2010) all attend Dorsey High School. In addition, Dorsey High's academic decathlon team placed third in the district's Super Quiz competition in 2007.
