Summary:

Fowler has two elementary schools in Marshall Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 2, and Fremont Elementary, serving grades 3–5. Enrollment is similar: 486 students at Marshall and 473 at Fremont. The clearest achievement picture is at Fremont, where results improved in all three reported subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, although they remained below California’s results in the latest year.

Fremont stands out for being above Fowler Unified in all three subjects, by 3 points in English language arts (ELA), 7 in math, and 1 in science, while remaining below the state by 1, 2, and 8 points, respectively. Its clearest grade-level strength was third grade: ELA was 10 points above the state and math was 2 points above. The most pronounced low point was fifth-grade math, at 25% proficient and 11 points below the state. Marshall stands out on attendance: chronic absenteeism was about 11% in 2025–2026, compared with 12% at Fremont, 13% districtwide, and 18% statewide.

Fremont’s scores rose by 6 points in ELA, 1 in math, and 8 in science; its state gaps narrowed by 5 points in ELA and 4 in science, but by less than 1 point in math. SchoolDigger rated Fremont at the 52nd percentile statewide with three stars in 2025–2026, compared with the 45th percentile and two stars the prior year; its 2023–2024 rating was the 57th percentile and three stars. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 22 at Marshall and 24.8 at Fremont. Both schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: 73% at Marshall and 78% at Fremont. Test scores are reported only for Fremont, and the schools serve different grade spans, so the data do not support a direct achievement comparison between them.
