Summary
Fowler High is a public high school in Fowler, California, serving 807 students in grades 9–12. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 98%, compared with 88% statewide and 98% in Fowler Unified. The clearest academic takeaway is the sharp contrast between subjects: Fowler is strong in English language arts, but math is its biggest weakness.
In 2025–2026, 67% of Fowler students were proficient in English language arts, ahead of the state at 49% and the district at 45%; among four nearby conventional high schools with reported scores, Fowler ranked second, behind Sanger West High. Math proficiency was 23%, below the state’s 38% and the district’s 29%, and fourth among those four schools. Science proficiency was 30%: below the state’s 36%, above the district’s 27%, and third among the nearby schools. In short, ELA is a clear local strength, while math trails both local and broader comparisons.
Science has improved steadily, rising from 24% in 2022–2023 to 30% in 2025–2026, though it remains below the state. ELA has pulled back from 70% in 2024–2025 to 67%, while math fell from 26% in 2023–2024 to 23%; its gap with the improving state widened over the four years shown. SchoolDigger ranked Fowler 883rd of 2,137 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 59th percentile with 3 stars; its percentile declined from 68 in 2023–2024. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 20.1, compared with a 16.0 average among nearby schools with reported ratios. Free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 80% of enrollment in 2024–2025, compared with about 84% on average among nearby schools with that measure. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for how well Fowler serves White students fell from the 75th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 43rd in 2025–2026, while the school’s overall percentile was 59.
