Summary

Vivian Fowler Elementary is a K-4 school in Mount Pleasant, TX, serving 388 students within the Mount Pleasant Independent School District (Isd), a district that earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 70th percentile statewide.

Vivian Fowler has historically been a mid-tier performer, but its most recent data shows a significant drop to the 48th percentile (2 stars), making it the lowest-performing school in its immediate district cluster. This decline is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like E C Brice Elementary (76th percentile) and Annie Sims Elementary (80th percentile), both of which serve similar student populations. The school also spends more per student ($10,290) than these higher-performing peers, suggesting resources are not translating into proportional academic outcomes. A new gender gap has emerged, with female students ranking in the 31st percentile while male students rank in the 61st percentile—a dramatic shift from prior years when performance was nearly identical for both groups.

Despite these challenges, Vivian Fowler has a clear strength in its bilingual program. In 2024-2025, 75% of 3rd graders taking the STAAR Reading test in Spanish were proficient, compared to just 21.8% statewide—among the highest scores in the region. The school also has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 12.4:1. However, with over 86% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school is at a critical juncture. Its historically strong support for "At Risk" students appears to be fading, and its closest neighbor, Frances Corprew Elementary, has improved while Vivian Fowler has declined. The school's leadership should urgently investigate the causes of this recent drop and look to replicate the success of its bilingual program across other subjects and student groups.
