My daughter went here and she despised it. She was getting suicidal thoughts just because of stress? Another thing is she didn’t feel welcome as they don’t support there students like LGBTQ+ if you want to go here fine. But from my daughter’s experience. Don’t.
Posted by a parent on 4/20/2026My 2 granddaughters are students at St Joseph's. They love their school. A very loving and nurturing place to learn.
Posted by a community member on 1/21/2026Wonderful school offering many learning opportunities for my children. Staff works hard to ensure that every child learns and develops their gifts and talents. The students have won many local, county, regional, and state awards. My children look forward to going to school every day!
Posted by a parent on 3/3/2023bad school dont recommend ever because its just not the school you look forward to even if advanced education they still arent the best to go to
Posted by a parent on 7/14/2022The Faculty is very nice. The published tuition is not reflective of the true tuition it is much higher: You are mandated to sell raffle tickets or pay 500 dollars and mandated to volunteer and give additional donations. The school doesn't do the FSA or FCAT rather chooses Iowa testing standards. On

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBCS is no longer the quaint private school it once was. A year or two ago, they hired new administration, board members and now principals, which has turned this quaint private school into a public functioning school. This has become very disappointing to most all parents, staff and kids. BCS now requires security checks which includes dog sniffing backpacks, lockers & constant drills. If you receive any type of funding or grants towards their almost $20k annual tuition, BCS will target those families either by stating you do not participate enough in church and/or your child's absences is an issue so they can terminate enrollment. Personally, I've dealt with both accusations this past year, even though my child has been attending BCS over 5 years. We've never had so many problems and issues with BCS before until their new hires joined. I truly hope and pray this new administration & members change back to how BCS once was. If not, I'm seriously considering homeschooling.Parent Review1y ago - Bowen Primary Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a current student at this school and have been for about 3 years. As a senior, I cannot say how excited I am to leave. This school should take the word "Christian" out of its name. The students that go here are very rude, hostile, and overall discriminatory against anyone who doesn't fit their standards. People get bullied out of this school all the time and it's horrible to see them experience "Christianity" this way. Most of the kids at this school don't take anything seriously. Kids carry drugs around the school and the principal doesn't care. I have seen drugs be thrown across the Chapel when we're supposed to be learning about God. This school also teaches that Jesus "breaks your legs," if you keep falling into sin which is just traumatizing to picture. This school also has a very expensive tuition, just to be taught the same things at a public school and be around the same kids, which I'd say are even worse than a public school. Overall, I would not and could not recommend this school to anyone trying to help their child grow morally and spiritually.Student Review3w ago
