Summary

Ethan B. Allen Elementary serves 637 students in grades K–6 in Fountain Valley and is part of Garden Grove Unified. Its results stand out among the 10 nearby schools in the data: in 2025–26, it had the highest all-grades proficiency in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. The most important finding is that the school leads its nearby peers in all three subjects while also scoring well above state and district results.

The school’s strongest area is its all-grades performance: 89% were proficient in ELA, 87% in math, and 75.2% in science. Those results exceed state rates by 40, 48, and 39 percentage points, respectively, and Garden Grove Unified rates by 28, 35, and 30 points. Its leads over the next-highest nearby results are 10 points in ELA, 3 in math, and a narrower 0.5 points in science; Tamura (Hisamatsu) Elementary was next in ELA and math, while Plavan (Urbain H.) Elementary was next in science. Third grade is the clearest relative soft spot: scores were 82% in ELA and 78% in math, the school’s lowest tested-grade results in both subjects. Third-grade math tied Thomas Paine Elementary, but trailed Tamura by 11 points.

Over time, ELA proficiency rose by about 1 point from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math fell by about 2 points, and science rose by about 8 points, despite declining from its 2023–24 peak. SchoolDigger ranks Ethan 43rd of 5,804 California schools, in the 99th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–26; it was in the 100th percentile in the two preceding years. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 24.5 in 2024–25, and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–26, compared with 13% districtwide and 18% statewide.
