5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is excellent. I transferred my children from a different district, and he difference is night and day. Simms readily helped my daughter with her learning disabilities and set for a 504 program for her as soon as the school year started. She has great grades and is getting the help she needs despite her medical issues. The staff is loving and caring. The principal is awesome. He really cares about the kids, and it shows. I am proud to have my children in this school district. Working with the staff is a joy.Parent Review11y ago - James Bowie High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhere do I start? Administration is a huge problem. The "we grew up together" mentality is hurting this school. The majority of the staff and Administration graduated from JR together. This keeps Administration from holding staff accountable. Not to mention the superintendent acts like the president of the United States. He is totally unapproachable and refuses to hear or recognize any problems he is presented with. The teachers just don't teach. The whole system is baffling to me. The Texas Board of Education really needs to investigate. Students grades are bumped up to passing rather than earning their grade. Students do assignments from text books day after day without ever actually being taught by a teacher on the subject. These people just don't care anymore. The high school and middle school need to take pointers from the elementary! The teachers are great there and care about those kids. It's like two different world's on the same campus. James Bowie High School and Middle School is doing our kids an disservice. Those kids aren't getting a proper education. The whole district needs a revamp. Teachers need to go...administration needs to go...bring people in that care about their jobs! Please, bring teachers in who want to teach! The athletic program is a focus to this school yet they can't win a game! The coaches answer to no one...why? How can coaches be reprimanded by administration when administration is a coach? How can we set a moral standard for our coaches when administration in among the worst. Please, if you care about your kids education, take them somewhere else.Parent Review10y ago - James Bowie Middle School
