Fowlerville High School

Summary:

Fowlerville High School is a public high school serving 847 students in grades 9-12 in Fowlerville, Michigan, which is part of the Fowlerville Community Schools district. The school faces several challenges, including a predominantly white student population, increasing chronic absenteeism, and lower academic performance compared to nearby schools.

Fowlerville High School has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.1% to 97.8% over the past five years, which is higher than the state average and the graduation rates of most nearby schools. However, the school's online counterpart, the Fowlerville Online Learning Academy, has significantly lower graduation rates (35.2%) and higher dropout rates (14.7%) compared to the traditional high school. This suggests that the online learning environment may not be as effective for some students.

Academically, Fowlerville High School's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are lower than the state averages and the scores of many nearby schools, such as Legacy High School in Hartland Consolidated Schools and Williamston High School in Williamston Community Schools. Additionally, Fowlerville High School's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other Michigan high schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
