Bowman Elementary School

Best school I ever went to I'm 42 and this was my main school till i moved i lived down the road. i often think about my time there even till this day i hope its still the same as it was back in the late 80s and early 90s

I would rate this a 2 because most of the good teachers Quit so i would not recommend this school but the good thing are the 6th grade teachers are good so with the 4th but after all that i do not recommend this school it just depends

If your child is a person of color, RUN! There is systemic racism from principal, teachers and students. Filing a formal bullying report is a joke, the principal will blame your child for everything even after previously admitting your child was being bullied prior to the report. The schools version of handling hate speech is holding a "use nice words" assembly and brushing it under the rug. The principal allows teachers to not teach, just provide busy work. Also, if your child should be provided special ed services as documented in 504 plan and when parents bring up that services are not being provided, principal allows teacher to send an email to the 504 coordinator calling your child "lazy" and then allow the teacher to not even attend the scheduled 504 meeting plus when the principal shows up in the last 5 mins of the meeting, she plays on her phone the whole time. The school does not care about helping the students be successful and make it clear that if your kid isn't white, they dont want you there. The only positive is that the PTA does lots of enrichment events throughout the year.We had high hopes for Rabbit Creek based on reviews/reputation but after a year there, we RAN as far away from the school and refuse to send any of our kids to that school and I highly recommend you do the same.

Klatt teachers are supportive and caring towards their students. They build rapport among grade levels, and support each other and other classes school wide. Students can choose from a variety of after school activities, including cross country running, robotics and summer enrichment.

We toured this school in February during a kindergarten event and the principal showed us around. It's a nice school and seemed well cared for. The principal was very nice and answered all of our questions and concerns. Every teacher or staff member that I have interacted with have been kind and helpful.My daughter is going to kindergarten and her teacher Mrs. Eikenbary and TA Mrs. S. are amazing. My daughter loves seeing her teachers everyday and they care about their students. Even with classes being online so far they have taken the time to help my daughter whenever she needs it. We also love that we can still get library books every week!

We have had 3 children attend PNA over the past 14 years, each of them very different personalities and learner types. We have been impressed with the ability of the school to create an exceptional experience for each of them, whether it's their social emotional learning, or keeping them challenged or building confidence in a subject. While it's a small school, my experience has shown that the kids who spend multiple years at PNA, truly leave with a love of learning and self confidence. Transitioning from a small middle school to public school in Anchorage is not an issue when you do so with a solid academic base, the expectation of engaging in what you are learning in a deep way, and the self confidence in yourself, all things cultivated at PNA. Our kids come home regularly telling us they had a great or amazing day!
