Thomas R Fowler Middle School

This is school is practically my life. I just entered 6th grade this year, and I never want to leave. Fowler rocks!

This isn't elementary school anymore and kids are required to step up and take responsibility. I have two girls with the youngest coming into 8th grade. Our experience at Fowler has been good. There is a wonderful band program which will welcome a new director next year. Our Principal and Vice Principal are both moving on but we have a strong parental support that will make the transition smooth. I would like to see more for the gifted and artistic students. Both of my girls have been in Band and Jazz Band which unfortunately prevented them from participating in other electives. While not perfect, Fowler is a good school with many wonderful kids and caring families.

Bullying at Fowler is a problem.

If your child is academically inclined, Fower has resources and a tract for the gifted. They also have an above average Band, Orchestra, and Drama department. After school activities lack imagination and are not very progressive in nature. Busses are available which is a plus. Physical Fitness is 5 times a week. 'Old school' competitor sport's is the main course. There is no anti-violence or harrasment programs (like 2nd step) in place. Parent involment is great for a middle school.
