Summary:
The Fowler Unified school district in California serves students from 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district faces some academic challenges, but also has several standout schools that are performing well above the state and district averages.
Fowler High School is the top-performing school in the district, with 67.84% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 25.87% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also boasts an impressive 98.0% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.5% dropout rate. In contrast, Fowler Academy Continuation, an alternative high school, serves a more at-risk student population but still manages a strong 90.9% 4-year graduation rate.
Malaga Elementary is another standout, with 52.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 35% proficient or better in Mathematics. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and significant achievement gaps between its highest and lowest performing schools. Addressing these equity concerns and supporting the district's most vulnerable learners will be critical for Fowler Unified to drive overall improvements.
