We have nothing but great things to say about Bosse. My kids went to a local private school through the 8th grade but moved to Bosse for high school. The racial and socio-economic diversity is a huge plus for us! The administrators, teachers, and staff are some of the best in the city when it comes to serving the student population. Both of my sons who went to Bosse excelled academically and received scholarships to their respective colleges. Many have said that Bosse is the best kept secret in Evansville and I couldn't agree more. Many in the greater Evansville area who don't like Bosse or think it's too rough are usually those who have not experienced racial diversity in their own lives.

This school nearly ruined our son and made our family homeless. I reached out to the chief of staffing for help. From there I was able to transfer our son of of Dexter, get a 504 plan in order, and the therapist at his new school helped us to get a diagnosis for our son. At Dexter our son was suspended every week, sometimes twice a week. Because of this I went through 8 jobs in 1 year. What's even worst is that our son wanted to hurt himself because he felt that he was worthless. Do not send your child here, please!

My grandson went here all four years. He was constantly bullied, threatened, and towards the end sexually grabbed by another boy student and he is just a normal, quiet, kind young man. He said the other kids constantly cursed at the teachers. It all affected his grades which fluctuated from A's to F's depending on the situation of other students and where her or not the teacher could handle the amount of kids per class. His parents and myself felt so hopeless. The first time his parents talked to the counselor in regards to the problems the counselor calls me he child harassing him into the office and in front of my grandson asks the boy if he has been doing these things? Needless to say my grandson was harassed by many kids after that and always begged his parents to never do that again. I think in some ways the things that were said to him for those years will never leave him, however, I pray that is not the case. I took the initiative to help him enroll in New Tech Institute. He currently goes there and lives school. I couldn't be more grateful. It worries me that next year his little brother will be going there. I just keep praying that they will be able to move to a different school district. The three you get children are all at Dexter grade school and I feel it is a good school. Thanks for giving me a platform to express my concerns. I pray every day that in the future this middle school can become a good school for these young teens.

I was fortunate enough to meet one on one with the principal before the school year, and chose NTI for my son based on the opportunities and benefits available to him at this particular school. Their structure and schedule is not the same as other schools, and I believe their philosophy and teaching strategies provide an advantage for the students. Beyond the ideology, on a personal level, I have been made to feel very unwelcome by every staff member I've been in contact with since the beginning of school. Surely there are wonderful teachers in the building, but overall the staff has been condescending and rude. I would hope that even when dealing with people like myself who are apparently unintelligent and undesirable, professional staff who deal with the public could feign respect long enough to communicate effectively and without passive aggressive undertones.
