This is definitely a school that has its act together. The teachers are caring, the students motivated, and the structure outstanding. I graduated from this high school and taught there. It is definitely a school with great success.

What a year! Our daughter is anxious for her senior year to start. She leaves her junior year still ranked #1 in her class, inc. 09 Academic All-Star nominee, '09 UCSF Summer Biomedical Research Internship nominee (a 1st for FHS) & Christian Athletic Scholar. Her thirst & hunger for knowledge is astounding. As her parents, we re amazed & proud of her accomplishments, her foundation @ FHS has been steadfast & her teachers without a doubt remarkable & noteworthy. Her goal is to enter a UC campus, her dream become a Doctor With-out Borders & help the needy. FHS has been her stepping stone, a UC Campus her milestone.

I am a graduate of fowler high school, and if it wasnt for their support and encouragement, i would have never graduated. They believe in their students and dare us to dream big. They have excellent programs, 4H, AG, band, drama. its all awesome! Not to mention the academics are awesome.


Posted June 24, 2008

Our daughter continues to be successful @ FHS, due to her strong perseverance and a constant thirst for knowledge, along with guidance from supportive parents who know that she, along with her fellow students, are entitled to a quality education. A big thank you to Fowler High Schools Curriculum Learning Director for her 100% support of our daughter s educational endeavor. When you were made aware of the dilemma, you stepped up to the plate in helping all students enrolled in AP Biology to succeed. A supportive administrative staff can also make a difference in a child s life.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
