Summary

Fowler Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 371 students in grades PK-5 in Phoenix, Arizona. The school is part of the Fowler Elementary District, which is ranked 263 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fowler Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 36% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 652-1064 out of over 900 schools. Fowler Elementary School also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, such as Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

The nearby schools in the Fowler Elementary District, such as Sunridge Elementary and Western Valley Elementary, also perform poorly, with similar low rankings and academic proficiency rates. This suggests systemic challenges within the district that are impacting student outcomes. While Fowler Elementary School generally underperforms, there are a few areas where the school shows some relative strength, such as in the performance of White, Multi-racial, and English Language Learner students.
