Welcome to Bow Elementary-Middle School, home to the Eagles and member of the Detroit Public Schools Community District serving 512 students in the Greenfield neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan between kindergarten and eighth grade. Seven percent of Bow Elementary-Middle School's students are at least proficient in math and 9% are at least proficient in reading. To help students better progress, the school has increased its teacher population. Its current student-to-teacher ratio is 16-to-1, lower than the state of Michigan. The school also understands that learning happens best when a child’s emotional and social well-being is prioritized. To provide support, it employs a school social worker, counselor and dean of culture, and offers a mental health hotline with counseling for children and parents. Bow Elementary-Middle School upholds rigorous core curriculum standards and offers electives such as music, physical education, Spanish and computer technology. Its performance arts program offers instrumental music, vocal music and dance. Teachers teach these subjects with a blended learning model of whole group instruction, small group instruction and personalized learning plans that students access independently via one-to-one technology. Outside of the classroom, students can participate in enriching activities and clubs such as chess, drumline, robotics, academic competitions and athletics including cheer, soccer, flag football and basketball. Bow Elementary-Middle School’s mission is to continue to create a safe, healthy and welcoming learning environment conducive to high-quality learning. With kindness and intentionality and by encouraging students to take academic risks, every Bow Elementary-Middle School Eagle can soar to excellence.

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.
