Bowen Elementary School

The most amazing school ever. The teachers, support staff, parents, facilities - the list goes on. What a treasure!

Our daughter loves her teachers, her classmates, and her lessons. She has grown by leaps and bounds and her joy for learning is nurtured in the Montessori environment. We are grateful to have this school in our community and look forward to many more years.

Our savior is a wonderful Christ centered education. So thankful for a loving staff who cares about their students. The education is top notch. Love the rigorous education to help children succeed in life.

I went to SATG 5th through the first half of 7th grade. This school wrecked me. I'm not exaggerating either. I had some underlying mental health issues already coming into the school (too mild to be treated for), and this school amplified them times 10. Even waiting in the carpool line to be dropped off was so anxiety-inducing. I was relentlessly bullied over the interner and behind my back. My friends had rocks and sticks thrown at them. Nobody ever got the justice they deserved and the bullying continued. The teachers seem nice but they really don't care that much about you. If you had any interests that made you even slightly different or had a little more or a little less meat on your bones than average then you'd be in hell.

This has been a great place for my kids to learn academics but also develop a strong sense of community and Islamic identity.

Ok I left a review earlier and I was mad so this is kind of a actual review. First things first they give us Id badges which all the most kids hate because we get a referral if we lose them and its just a piece of laminated plastic, we never had a issue before so I don't understand why. If they are thinking its a security measure, a kid is just as able to go on a site or something and make their own I.D badge, the reason that won't work is because teachers literally stand outside of class, and they know all of us by name, we also literally have uniforms that say PORTLAND CHRISTIAN on our shirts, and we still need I.D badges. A kid using logic would not go on a school by himself where there are armed security guards here, so if the adults are thinking that a kid is going to steal his parents card or use money, go onto the uniform site enter the district code using spies inside the school, who placed security cameras around the house to see the parents using the code so they can buy a uniform, go into a gun store, Rob a gun store which is a very bad idea for obvious reasons. grab a gun and sneak into our school and do stuff. If people are scared of this they might as well be scared of aliens invading us. In the end the schools fine it's not some cupcakes in rainbows, but it's a school and I feel pretty safe.
