I am a student that goes here and there is a lot of bullying. On the inside the school is not that bad but if you want to learn you really have to pay attention and ask questions. Every teacher is different you just have to hope you get the right one. Make sure you pick good friends because if you don't you might end up in the wrong crowd and get hurt. At the beginning of the school year there's a lot of fights there's like one fight every week.A LOT of people are rude and mean you just have to make sure to find the right crowd mainly the people that seem nice if anybody gives you a dirty look don't talk to them. Overall I would give the school a three out of five because if you find the right crowd it could be a good experience if you have the right teachers it could be a good experience but if not it could be bad.

Kids are way below grade level and some are clearly needing services. I had a lot of kids who Im not sure how they got to my grade level without failing. They just keep moving them up unprepared.

Some are great. Others are lazy! Some have no management and kids run the classrooms.
Posted: July 22, 2019
I will say that the kids are given positive mentoring often.
Posted: July 22, 2019
If effective leadership is instilling intimidation and micromanaging adult professionals like children, then this school leadership is awesome.

I wish Id known not to go here. Great pay but it is war pay. This is why its so hard to fill their jobs by August.
Posted: July 22, 2019
They dont give it unless its math and then its packets during holiday breaks that the kids could care less about.

Because this school supports my children, includes after school programs, and teachers communicate with the parents, and finally the teachers here are really nice to my children

Teachers are very good about responding to emails. Anytime I have an issue about my child or their grades they are very quick and very responsive. I have not had any issues with either of my children at this school. The teachers care about the students and they help them in succeeding.

The staff at Bowie are responsive to parents and the community. They take the time to listen to concerns and go above and beyond to help families beyond educational concerns. Recently a student had a fire, and the staff brought clothes and other items for the entire family. This is only one example of many that could be shared about Bowie.

Homework is sometimes given but it is not too much. Mostly practice of stuff that has covered in class. The teachers give homework but it is useful and not just busy work.

Bowie is a place where teachers care about their students. The community and campus work together for the betterment of all. I highly recommend Bowie!

I've been a teacher for 10 years in three districts. I've worked in Irving for the past 8 years on another campus. This past year I joined the Bowie campus as a science teacher. I've been thrilled to see the dedication each person on campus displays to the students. Some of the staff have been involved with this campus for 20, 25, even 30 years!!! Our students are learning more than how to bubble a test score sheet (even though we are one of the top rated schools in Irving!) We have wonderful leadership, collaboration among teachers, and tremendous support staff.
