GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Bowie High School is a very nice place that many people can enjoy, you just have to get used to it. My favorite parts about being here is all the friends I made. The worst part about being here are the teachers.

Bowie High School has the P-TECH program, that allows students to take college classes for free. There is also a lot of diversity among the students and teachers. The bad is that there could be a couple fights here and there, but it has gotten better over the years.

While there are some teachers that are worth something, most of them rely on packets and an immense amount of homework to teach their students opposed to actually teaching! One of my kids has been having issues with one class that was fairly difficult for her and because it was a class she had a cho...
