Bowley Elementary School

How is this school still on this platform? Where do I start? My child is a high performing reader in his teacher’s class she rewards the “greater” kids who don’t even know how to read . even though my child is not up to par when it comes to math he really studied hard for his benchmark more than he ever did in his classwork. She doesn’t even do anything about the picking. The principal is extremely disrespectful, making smart remarks about how my child won’t “stay in his lane” when he literally does he doesn’t even talk to anyone and she has no clue because she doesn’t even check the classroom just don’t enroll your child into the school. They don’t care about anything. The kids are quick to fight. It won’t leave my child alone. It’s hard to ignore someone. Who just keeps on doing it every day. then here comes the teacher acting like if it’s my child he gets great grades on his read works then they keep requesting to change him to different classes. As he will do better than them, they don’t even help him at all, and he has no support in the class. No one there is stand by his side they’re still disrespectful instead of helping remove this school immediately

More bad experience than a good one. If you have a kids with special need this school isn't for you or kids.

Devers is the BEST school on post, though many may disagree with me. I specifically moved to Ardennes because of the school. We were out in Linden Oaks. My children require special needs attention, but not the type you typically associate with extra educational needs. Other schools on post couldn't provide me with ways to challenge my girls mentally. My girls require material a grade or more above their actual grade level; for this the schools they were in basically used them, especially my oldest, as a teacher's aid. That was NOT ok with me nor was it acceptable. It had gotten so bad that she requested to be home schooled. After speaking to EVERY principal, Ms. Black was the only one who had an idea. 2e met with potential teachers and their ideas, plans and thoughts were amazingly reassuring! My younger daughter is not showing those same signs and they're already putting plans in place to keep her engaged. Mrs. Jackson at the front office, as well as Ms. Frazier, are phenomenal and remember all the kids and what's going on. My youngest adores her "dolphin" school and enjoys going to school now. The middle school, I could say just as many amazing things about their staff! I've never had a group of individuals put so much into making sure a kid is 100% engaged and learning! The fact that I know my youngins are not the only kiddos like this.... it's amazing that they can adapt so easily to each child's individual reach!

Worst experience ever!! Luckily my son was only there one year and I was able to do an out of district transfer. If you can don’t send your kids there!
