Fowler Elementary District

The Fowler Elementary District in Phoenix, Arizona, consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 virtual academy. The district as a whole is ranked 266 out of 288 districts in Arizona and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance across the schools.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Sun Canyon School has the highest performance, ranking 636 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools and boasting the district's highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Fowler Elementary School is the second-highest ranked in the district, with relatively strong performance in Mathematics. The Fowler Elementary School District Virtual Academy stands out for its lower student-teacher ratio, despite having the lowest overall ranking in the district.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools in the district and the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.86% to 84.77%, indicate that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. Additionally, the variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios suggests that higher spending and smaller class sizes do not necessarily translate to better academic performance across the district.
