Fowler Junior High School

Summary:

Fowler Junior High School is a public middle school in Fowler, Colorado, serving 63 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Fowler School District No. R4J, which is ranked 50 out of 116 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Fowler Junior High School has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with the percentage of White students decreasing from 66% to 54% and the percentage of Hispanic students increasing from 32% to 44%. The school's academic performance on CMAS assessments has been mixed, with 8th-grade science proficiency higher than the state average but lower performance in English Language Arts and Math compared to state and district averages. The school has also seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 66% to 46.03%, which may indicate an improvement in the socioeconomic status of the student population.

Despite these fluctuations, Fowler Junior High School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.1 to 13.9 in recent years. This small school environment could be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school and district may need to further analyze the factors behind the academic performance trends and the relationship between socioeconomic status and student outcomes to develop targeted strategies for improvement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
