Summary

Public Service Leadership Academy At Fowler is a high school located in Syracuse, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,077 students. It is part of the Syracuse City School District, which is ranked 849 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New York high schools, with proficiency rates on Regents exams significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.61% in Algebra I to 53.45% in Earth and Space Sciences, compared to the state averages of 56.07% and 56.02% respectively. The school's graduation rate has fluctuated between 64.4% and 84.3% over the past few years, consistently lower than the state average, and it has high dropout rates ranging from 4.5% to 9.2% in recent years.

While the nearby schools, such as Nottingham High School, Henninger High School, and Corcoran High School, also perform poorly on academic measures compared to the state averages, they generally outperform Public Service Leadership Academy At Fowler. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, coupled with its poor academic performance, suggests that it may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its diverse student population.
