Bowman Academy

Great school. 3 of my children attended Cannella. They all love it and did well here. Keep in mind that these schools are graded on test scores and unfortunately the high level of non English speakers attending, tends to lower scores at all of the schools where many of the children speak another language at home. The school has programs to assist, but can only do so much when it is not practiced at home as well. Just a fact. This school is much better than the score reflects and would send any child here with confidence.

I have so many issues with this place it's un real parents actually enroll there kids. From not being able to contact my child to no teacher support I find it odd also that when I do contact the school no one ever knows where my child is or even who they are which as a parent is highly concerning especially for today when both my partner and I cannot pick her up and she needs to ride her bus the school cannot locate her in addition they refused to allow me to speak to her because they did not believe I was her parent

All they care about is attendance and not what the actual student needs or may be struggling with. The principal won’t even acknowledge you if you see her. Awful student pick up set up, even the walkers are left out in the Sun or rain with no covering. I do not recommend this school

Lake Magdalene Elementary is a great school. The staff are very kind and welcoming and the teachers I've experienced truly care about the kids and wanting them to grow. There is a lot of communication posted about events. The principal and assistant principal (Sierra and Kim) have great energy. I'd definitely recommend this school to anyone considering it.

This school is the terrible! Bullying at an all time high! They will not ensure your child safety. I’m surprised it’s still open.

I had to remove my child from this environment due to blatant discrimination by the lead teacher. The lead teacher did not discipline students who were bullying my child, but rather made excuses for the aggressors. She would also write reports up about my child when my child had to defend herself against bullying. The lead teacher would conveniently leave out the aggressions initiated by bullies that caused my child to react. I’d only get a full account of what transpired by asking probing questions that ultimately led her to confessing that my child was first hit by a bully on the playground (this was just one event among many). This and many other accounts where my child was discriminated against both blatantly and passive aggressively led me to remove my child from this environment. Also an award that was supposed to be given by student votes was rigged and manipulated by the lead teacher to favor who she wanted to receive the award, so integrity is questionable. Additionally when my child was struggling in math I was not notified early on or updated on her progress (I found out because I pay close attention to my child’s performance) which made me believe that my child was intentionally not positioned to have support that could have led to better outcomes. Pay close attention to micro aggressions towards minority children because this was not a positive experience.

I used to go to this school from Kindergarten to 4th grade, it was probably the most educational and best school for me. (I'm in 7th now) I'm considering going back. It was a mistake for my mom to take me out.
