Summary:
The Fowler School District No. R4J in Colorado has only one elementary school, Fowler Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 198 students. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it appears to have some academic strengths as well as areas for improvement when compared to state averages.
Fowler Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 443 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 504 out of 943 in 2023-2024, with its SchoolDigger rating varying between 2 and 3 stars out of 5. Academically, the school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts at the all-grade level and in grades 3, 5, and 6, but falls below the state average in 4th grade. In Math, the school's performance is below the state average at the all-grade level and in grades 4 and 5, though it performs better than the state in 3rd and 6th grades. The school's 5th-grade Science performance is also below the state average.
One significant concern is Fowler Elementary School's high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 64.14% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting the school faces socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic achievement and attendance. While the district as a whole is ranked 42 out of 115 in Colorado with a 3-star rating, further investigation into district-level strategies and support for schools like Fowler Elementary could provide valuable insights for improving student outcomes.
