As my daughter moves to middle school, I would like to thank the teachers and staff at Cowden Elementary for giving her the skills needed for this next step in her journey. The teachers took the time to build relationships with her that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Dr. Norman for leading your te
Posted by a parent on 8/17/2024My kids love Cowden. My middle schooler still talks about his amazing experiences he had in elementary school. My daughter leads and learns in such an amazing way at Cowden. The learning is top tier and the skills my kids have learned that will make them successful adults is unmatched anywhere else.
Posted by a parent on 8/16/2024My 10-year-old son has autism and ADHD. When he was in kindergarten, before this was diagnosed, he struggled quite a lot with his social interactions and behavior (this is still a struggle but much less so). Instead of trying to understand why he might do something, they just punished him and suspen
Posted by a parent on 8/10/2024Excellent school! The staff loves my child and he’s grown academically and socially/emotionally. Highly recommended.
Posted by a parent on 10/26/2022Wow my grandson goes here and I never knew that this school is so far behind basically in everything in Springfield and Missouri. I hope to take him out next year.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeachers are great. We feel our student is loved and safe at school. It’s close knit and just a good school. The school has increasingly enrolled more low-income students, hence the shift in test scores. But they’re still known as a good school in the community because they’ve maintained their reputation despite challenges.Parent Review1y ago - Mark Twain Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot one teacher, admin or Dr. Heet certified to teach or be an administrator. The high school admin only has a sub license. You pay a lot of money and everyone at the school isn’t qualified to do what they’re doing. Kids are behind in everything and the behaviors are awful. No support and not worth it. Stay away.Teacher Review3w ago - Immaculate Conception School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been connected to NCA for many years, as a volunteer, parent and staff member. I have watched the school continue to grow and improve every year. They have a great partnership with parents in their student's education. This is a school that I would highly recommend to friends and family. I encourage you to check it out.Other Review7mo ago
