Fowlerville Community Schools

The Fowlerville Community Schools district in Michigan serves students from 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and no alternative schools. While the district's schools share some common challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, there are notable differences in their academic performance and outcomes.

Fowlerville High School stands out as a strong performer, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 95.4% and better-than-average performance on standardized tests like the SAT. In contrast, the Fowlerville Online Learning Academy struggles, with a much lower graduation rate of 35.2% and a significantly higher dropout rate of 14.7%. This suggests the online learning environment may not be as effective for all students, and the district should evaluate the support and resources provided to the online program.

Another bright spot in the district is Natalie Kreeger Elementary School, which outperforms the district and state averages on M-Step English Language Arts and Mathematics tests, and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the other elementary school, HT Smith Elementary School. However, the district as a whole faces challenges related to racial homogeneity and high rates of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and targeted interventions to ensure all students have equal opportunities for academic success.
