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 had amazing teachers here, Spanish and Algebra (HS Credit Courses) are offered in 8th grade, and there were a variety of sports programs there. The positive things being said my brother and I did have quite a few bad experiences with the administration there and dress coding is targeted. Finally the food isn't that great, but what public school's is. Definitely an experience, but I do not wish to ever go back.

James bowie middle school is...not bad but not great. Teachers here are very helpful, though bullying and thing else is just....the victims are either not getting justice or they shrug it off as a small rumor. Please take my advice.

Awful. Literally the worst. I left Ft Bend county because of the eye opening experience I had here.
