I am very pleased with the principal and teachers at Bowlesburg Elementary School. Thank you for giving all my children a great start into learning!

In my opinion, this school is awful. First of all, we barely learn things from the majority of the teachers, and when we do, its from a test we never prepared for. Second, the teachers. Most of the teachers have almost no clue on how to control a classroom. I am a student, and when they were people having loud conversations, while I was quietly talking to a classmate. The teacher decides to call ME out instead of the loud people. This is most likely because of the fact that its a female teacher that thinks they're always in the right. Third, the counseling. The counselors could be a bit better, but they can't really do much, but something they do wrong, is when a student tells them something personal, they tend to tell everyone no matter what. Fourth, family engagement or whatever this is. From what I've seen, the only times parents come to the school for something is for BAND concerts or BAND parent teacher meetings. Which is by the way, for BAND people, which is limited throughout the school. Fifth, safety. The safety in this school isn't the greatest. Teachers and other staff don't tend to pay attention to most bullying that is happening. I've seen people literally start to choke others out right in from a teacher, and nobody did anything. Finally, the special education. I think the special education is just fine, its just how in my opinion, the teachers focus a bit too much on the special education people.
