Summary

Furgeson (Venn W.) Elementary serves 297 students in grades K–6 in Hawaiian Gardens and is part of ABC Unified. Its 2025–2026 results show some improvement in English language arts (ELA) and math, but proficiency in both remains below state and district levels. Science is the clearest concern: 13% of students were proficient, down from 19% in 2024–2025, and the result was below every nearby same-district school. The most important finding is that science achievement is especially weak and the gap with the state has grown.

Compared with nearby schools, Furgeson is around the middle in ELA and math, but last in science. ELA proficiency was 38%, slightly above the five nearby same-district schools’ 36% average, while math was 31%, just below their 31% average. Both subjects remained below the state (49% in ELA and 38% in math) and ABC Unified (64% and 53%). Science was 13%, versus a 30% nearby-school average, the state’s 36% and the district’s 49%; the closest nearby result was Willow Elementary at 13.3%. A grade-level concern is fifth-grade math: just 6% were proficient, below every nearby same-district school.

ELA and math are moving in a better direction: since 2023–2024, ELA has risen 6 percentage points and math 9 points, while their gaps with the state have narrowed. SchoolDigger ranks Furgeson in the 38th percentile statewide and gives it 2 stars; its overall percentile rose 11 points from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Migrant Students is notably higher, at the 73rd percentile in 2025–2026 versus 38th overall. Chronic absenteeism was relatively low at 11% in 2025–2026, and its 18.5 student–teacher ratio was the lowest among nearby schools. The reported low-income measure was 93% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; California is identified as a statewide free-meals state, but this is Furgeson’s reported measure.
