Summary

Hurley Elementary is a 387-student K–6 school in La Puente, California, in Rowland Unified. In 2025–26, about 41% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 37% in math, and 35% in science—below state levels, though math and science were close. The most important concern is the sharp grade-level split: fourth-grade math proficiency was just 19%, while fifth-grade math was 44%.

Compared with nearby schools, Hurley is strongest in math and science: it ranked fourth of 11 schools in each and scored about 1 point above the nearby average in math and 8 points above it in science. ELA is a weaker area: Hurley ranked sixth of 11 and was 3 points below the nearby average. It leads the four nearby Rowland Unified schools in all three subjects, but remains below the state by 9 points in ELA, 1 point in math, and 1 point in science. Grade results vary considerably: fourth-grade math was 24 points below the state, while fifth-grade math was 7 points above it and ranked second among nearby schools serving that grade.

Results rebounded in 2025–26 after a weaker prior year: ELA rose 12 percentage points, math 9 points, and science 19 points. Still, results have fluctuated, so the improvement is not yet a consistent upward trend. SchoolDigger ranked the school 2,893 of 5,804 statewide, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.9 in 2024–25, and 96% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for serving homeless students was at the 87th percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 50th percentile; for serving Special Education students, it was at the 17th percentile.
