Summary:
ZIP code 90716 has three schools serving 886 students: two K–6 elementary schools, Hawaiian Elementary and Furgeson (Venn W.) Elementary, and one 7–8 middle school, Fedde (Pharis F.) Middle. The schools have similar enrollments, between 291 and 298 students, and all are part of ABC Unified. The clearest difference between schools is in science: Hawaiian is above the state result, while Furgeson and Fedde are considerably below it.
Hawaiian led 2025–2026 All Grades science at 46%, 10 percentage points above the state’s 36%; Furgeson had the lowest result at 13%, 23 points below the state, and Fedde scored 19%, 17 points below. The 33-point gap between the highest and lowest science scores is far wider than the 4-point ELA range or 2-point math range. ELA results ranged from 37% at Fedde to 41% at Hawaiian, while Fedde led math at 33% and Furgeson was lowest at 31%. Across the schools, average scores were below state results in all three subjects: 38% versus 49% in ELA, 32% versus 38% in math, and 26% versus 36% in science.
Results improved overall from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the three-school average rose 4 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 6 in science, outpacing state increases in each subject. However, Furgeson’s science score fell 6 points while Hawaiian’s rose 17 and Fedde’s rose 8. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 18.6 at Hawaiian, 18.5 at Furgeson, and 14.8 at Fedde; each school’s reported 2024–2025 measure was free/reduced lunch eligible, at 94%, 93%, and 92%, respectively. These figures do not align with one uniform pattern in test results. SchoolDigger gives all three schools two stars for 2025–2026 and ranks ABC Unified 251st of 968 California districts, at the 74th percentile. Because the schools serve different grade spans, All Grades comparisons are not fully grade-matched.
