Summary

Thomas R Fowler Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Tigard, Oregon, serving 744 students in the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J, a district that ranks 24th of 141 statewide. Fowler itself ranked 135th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025-26 — the 64th percentile, with 3 stars. That is an improvement over 164th the year before, but still below the school's mid-2010s peak, when it ranked 110th (2018-19) and 75th (2016-17) with 4 stars.

Achievement is mixed and depends heavily on grade level. Overall, 44.8% of students met standards in English language arts and 34.3% in math — above Oregon's 43.8% and 32.9%, but below the district's 48.3% and 37.3%. Grade-by-grade results are more useful. Sixth grade is a clear weak spot: 39.2% in ELA and 28.9% in math, below both district and state. Eighth grade is a clear strength: 46.8% in ELA, 38.9% in math, and 28.1% in science, all above district and state. Compared with same-district peers, Twality Middle School and Hazelbrook Middle School outperform Fowler in 6th grade, while Fowler's 8th grade outperforms both.

Chronic absenteeism was 31.3% in 2024-25 — better than district (33.6%) and state (33.5%), though higher than Twality Middle School, Jackson Middle School, and Lake Oswego Middle School. About 58% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, up sharply from 34% two years earlier, and the student-teacher ratio has risen to 19.6. Resources alone do not explain results: Jackson serves a higher-poverty population yet ranks in the 94th percentile. Fowler also has real gaps for English learners, students with disabilities, and low-income students, though low-income results improved markedly from the 9th percentile in 2023-24 to the 47th in 2025-26.
