Fern Elementary School (California)

[1] As of 2003[update] its attendance area includes portions of Torrance west of Madrid Avenue.

Its initial school facility was a temporary group of bungalows that became overcrowded.

The Los Angeles School District changed its plans in 1932, and the current facility was built with $84,000 from the $12.7 million bond.

Torrance USD proposed razing the building on March 6, 1957, for fear that it would not meet earthquake standards but in March 1958 the State of California ruled that it would cost less money to retrofit the existing facility.

[3] In 1996 TUSD put some portable classrooms on Greenwood Park to relieve Fern.
