Summary:
Five schools in zip code 93625, part of Fowler Unified, serve grades K–12 across elementary, middle, high and continuation programs; enrollment ranges from 22 to 807 students. In 2025–2026, three schools reported all-grades proficiency results. Their average ELA result was 51%, slightly above the state’s 49%, while their math and science averages were 28% and 27%, below state averages of 38% and 36%. The clearest area-wide takeaway is that reported ELA results compare more favorably with the state than math and science do.
Fowler High stands out in ELA, with 67% proficient—18 percentage points above the next-highest reported result at Fremont Elementary and 17 points above the state. Fremont leads in math at 36%, 11 points above John Sutter Middle, but still 2 points below the state. Fowler High leads science at 30%, just 2 points above Fremont, and remains 6 points below the state; all three reported science results fall short of the state figure. John Sutter has the lowest reported all-grades ELA result, at 39%. Fowler Academy Continuation has 48% chronic absenteeism, compared with 18% statewide, while the other four schools are below the state rate. Only three schools have reported all-grades test results: Fowler Academy’s scores are suppressed, Marshall has no results listed, and the schools serve different grade spans.
Recent score changes are mixed: Fremont improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, gaining 6 points in ELA, 1 in math and 8 in science; John Sutter’s math score fell 6 points, while its science score rose 5. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile rankings also declined from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026: Fowler High moved from 68 to 59, John Sutter from 60 to 38, and Fremont from 57 to 52, after reaching 45 in 2024–2025. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 78% at Fremont, 80% at Fowler High and 82% at John Sutter; their student-teacher ratios were 24.8, 20.1 and 20.4, respectively. These figures describe differences among schools but do not explain their test results.
