This school is horrible every single day there are multiple fights the principal is not the best and every teacher is stupid and rude in there in their own ways, there are also a ton of rats in the school mainly the gyms and auditorium, and just as an example of how many fights there are, there were 3 fights on the first day alone, and there are many other fights. Not even mentioning the many horrible kids, a TON of people there vape I would know iv´e seen it multiple times, and there have probably been lots and lots more. The education is fine at the most, the lunch there is horrible but that is a normal thing in schools I suppose.

The school is just a big mess. There are empty classrooms where a substitute was meant to be. There are teachers switching/quitting in the middle of the year. There are many many random bell schedule changes. Our consulers and nurses are underaquailfied and don't know how to do their jobs. Our school is over-crowded and just getting bigger. The school administration are so focused on getting thag next gear-up grant and good grades that they ignore the students concerns. I have had at least three friends leave because of the teachers, school admisseration, and the students. And if you have a disability this is not the place to go. If the teachers sees your accommodation as unnesscary they will refuse to help you. Even if you complain the school they won't help. As a student who doesn't get heavily discriminated against I still can see everything that's going on and sometimes it happens to me to. I would never recommend this school and I would advise you keep you or your child away from this school until they can probably handle all the issues the school has.

My oldest daughter has attended both Bowie & Dezavala, and I have to say for her Dezavala is a better fit. I have always heard only glowing things about Bowie but it has its faults also. No school is perfect. I as a parent never felt really at home at Bowie. However,at Dezavala I am involved in both my daughters' classrooms, and have found a warm, open door policy. I say to parents with negative things to say, just BE INVOLVED! The help is needed & welcomed, and you can see for yourself how dedicated & hardworking most teachers are. Its like complaining about the government & not being a registered voter. Some parents have never even set foot in classrooms, even when required. If your childs teracher sees you as interested, engaged, and involved, your child will benefit, believe me. It is worth your time, and your childs school, Dezavala or otherwise, will only be better for it.
