Bowler School District

The Bowler School District in Wisconsin serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district: Bowler Elementary and Bowler High. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Wisconsin over the past few years.

Academically, both Bowler Elementary and Bowler High have significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science compared to the state averages. For example, Bowler Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math were just 30.43% and 34.78%, respectively, in 2024-2025, well below the state averages of 52.14% and 55%. Additionally, the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, at 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Socioeconomic factors also appear to be a challenge for the district, with both Bowler Elementary and Bowler High having a very high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 81.44% and 61.03%, respectively, for the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the schools in the Bowler School District are still underperforming, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.
