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.

At John Bowne, I loved the diverse community and programs but struggled with heavy rules and restricions. More leniancy and better facilities would help

John Bowne is a school with a lot of diversity and amazing staff. The majority of the teachers will constantly push you to do your best hoping to see you thriving in the future. However, John Bowne needs to work on student involvement when it comes to clubs and expanding the number of clubs offered. I also think there are parts of the school that can be updated or renovated.
