5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has the worst staff .the principal is bias and does not go by district rules he is unprofessional, talks, mocks parents judges people by appearance. I say this cause this was my first encounter with principal. I was embarrassed, threatened and he had a bad temper we could not communicate with him as adults, parents defend your children in this school, listen to your children take.notes time date. this school is not recommended, check school ratingParent Review8mo ago - Fowler Elementary School
