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.

I have really enjoyed my time at Bowie High School. There are so many group a and clubs you can be apart of and there are no judgement. Bowie High School has a very strong culture that everyone loves doing. We have had those cultures for years and hope to continue them when we move forward in life.

I joined bowie high in April 2024 as a refugee from Pakistan I was focus less and the management somewhat helped me my counselor met me on regular days within the first 2 months but then it felt like he vanished he responded to my emails after weeks stopped guiding me when I asked him how can I complete my service hours he never guided me and I was shocked soo I asked my cousins counselor in the same county but different high school to guide me and she did I was surprised by this act of my counselor another problem is security threats from time to time I remember on my 3rd day the whole road was blocked and there were 20 to 23 cop cars and ambulances outside our school I never knew what happened outside other than that sports is good kids are playing the coaches are supportive food is average we have variety to eat but the administration and security needs improvement

In my 3+ yrs as a student at BHS, I have had many great teachers. Overall, they have been very caring and supportive. Because of them, I am getting into the college of my choice!
