Summary

Fowler Elementary School serves 370 prekindergarten–grade 5 students at 6707 W Van Buren St in west Phoenix. In 2025–26, its all-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and math proficiency rates were both 24%—higher than the Fowler Elementary District, but below Arizona’s rates. The most important takeaway is that comparatively strong local results do not mean students are near state proficiency: Fowler was 17 percentage points below the state in ELA and 9 points below in math.

Third-grade ELA is a standout nearby: Fowler’s 32% proficiency was 13 points above the average for nearby schools with reported results and higher than their top score of 25%; it was also 10 points above the district, though 7 below the state. Results are less strong in fourth grade: ELA was 24%, about the nearby average and just 1 point above the district, but 23 points below the state. Math is a relative strength overall—24% compared with 15% for the district and a nearby-school average of 18%—yet fourth-grade math is a particular concern. Fowler’s 18% was 22 points below the state and below the nearby average of 19%. Fifth-grade math was 21%, also below the nearby average of 25% and 17 points below the state.

SchoolDigger rates Fowler at the 15th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, compared with the district’s 3rd percentile and 0 stars. Fowler ranks second among nearby schools with reported percentiles, but its own ranking fell 13 points from 28 in 2024–25; it had risen from 25 the year before. Its student–teacher ratio is the lowest nearby at 16.8, compared with 18.4 at the next-lowest school. The reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 85% in 2022–23, with no usable nearby comparison. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for how well Fowler serves English learner students was notably higher than its overall standing—79th percentile versus 23rd in 2020–21, and 54th versus 15th in 2022–23. Its Hispanic-student ranking fell from the 31st percentile in 2024–25 to the 2nd in 2025–26, while the overall ranking rose from 28 to 15. Supplied proficiency figures cover only one year per subject, so they cannot show whether test results are improving.
