The city of Fowlerville, Michigan is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one traditional and one online), and no alternative schools. The schools in this district serve a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges for many families.

However, Fowlerville High School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 19.9% compared to the district and state averages. The online school, with just 70 students, struggles with a high dropout rate of 14.7% and significantly lower spending per student at $7,210 compared to the traditional schools.
Overall, the schools in the Fowlerville Community Schools district face challenges in academic performance, with test scores generally below state averages, particularly in mathematics. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic disadvantages among the student population may contribute to these academic struggles, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success across the district.
