3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis place is going downhill fast. Really fast. Since Mrs McCoy retired and then Mrs Davis, it flat out sucks so far. Those two loved their students, immensely. It felt like family walking in the door. Now, its feels totally different. But hey, long as the scores raise, right? They like to treat kids unfairly. If your child is outspoken, its considered disrespect. If the dean doesnt like you, or your kid, its over. Some teachers pretend to be nice when parents are around and do a complete flip and are rude, ignorant and disrespectful to children yet expect total respect and compliance. They try to get parental and family engagement, but fail. So most parents dont know what goes on. Listen to your kids!Other Review1y ago - Bowen High School

"I've been in this neighborhood most of my life,It's changed but it's still a nice place to live, transportation is great,buses,trains."

"I've been here 8 years. Most of that time it's been really nice - quiet, decent neighbors. I run through Rainbow Park and along the beach 4-5 days a week and have never felt unsafe there. There was a corner liquor store that was a problem for a while, but their license was revoked and all is back to normal now. Very peaceful and I love living so close to the lake. There's a small dog beach at the end of 79th that makes it really worthwhile to be here."

"I've lived in this area my whole life, not the safest of places. If you keep to yourself and don't go out in the night hours, you're good. All the shopping/restaurants are a sort of nearby, but you can't walk there in the night. Also, I lived across the street from the Burley house and someone had died there"
