Read what parents are saying about John Bowne High SchoolThis school has a fairly unfortunate background knowledge of past events that occurred in the school, that has caused bad ratings. Many students who go to Bowne High school enjoy there time there. There are many opportunities to succeed in this school. They offer online courses, night school, free tutoring on school lunch periods, after school and on the weekends to help students succeed in their classes, as well as passing and getting the necessary requirements for their regents exam. They have over 200 clubs offered. Teachers and Staff and students in Bowne are free to create their own clubs, and after school activities. There are many opportunities for Volunteer services. They are the only school in Queens that offer an Agriculture program. As well as the accommodating Academy of Arts, JROTC, STEM and zone programs for students. Students have a wide range of AP, Honors, and College Now classes available. They have many interactive programs as well. I am a fellow student in John Bowne High School. Most of, the principal, Kwait, stands to his roots on his opinion of Success. All students are required to aim for the Advance Regents Diploma to get ready for college.
Posted by a student on 5/28/2014I am a current Junior in the former Doshi, now STEM Science Research Program. All I can say is that it takes every student to get used to the High School environment, especially in a school like John Bowne. Again, everybody is different, therefore one cannot generalize. I learned so much in this school and have had the most amazing experiences both educational and social. I have changed as a person in this school because of the courses that are offered and the level of education. Personally, I cannot recommend a better school to anybody. If I were to give my personal judgement for parents thinking about their children's education. I would say make sure that your kid keeps up his or her grades in order to apply to the STEM program. And make sure that your child puts the STEM program as their first choice in the list of High Schools. Bowne is located in a great neighborhood sharing a campus with Queens College, Townsend Harris, two elementary schools and the Former CUNY Law school. The teachers are great, the staff is willing to work. I hope that one day, I can send my kids here as well!
Posted by a student on 4/5/2014I know this school is great and for others too i know a lot of teachers and is very interesting they give tutoring to students.They should know that they have to follow the rules.I like that i have a lot of friends and a lot of teachers and old teachers.This school can improve like in the senior office they are telling every single senior to pay the money for like prom and specially the senior trip smugglers notch in vermont this is the name and this school should improve a lot with all the money that is given in.
Posted by a community member on 2/2/2014I go to john bowne high school in queens. I am a freshman and to be honest my school is a good school. It is filled all different cultures and races. Black,white,Indian,Chinese,Spanish, and more. I go to a very diverse school. All of my teachers overall are wonderful and they care about you. I am in the cow program and I think I have one of the best teacher there. The staff is always helpful and kind to students when we need help. To be honest, some students are not so nice . Some are rude, nasty, mean, or disruptive. Don't get me wrong , there are about 4,000 "kids" at my school. Not everyone is bad. Usually, most people you meet will be kind and nice. The first week of school I hated it and wanted to go home, but when I got used to school I actually liked it and I joined a team (cheerleading). My school is big on clubs and teams. It's so nice to see everyone come together to cheer for us and other teams in our school. We also have jrotc. I don't really know too much about it but you can look it up. Overall, I like my school and if you plan on coming to my school I hope you like it. Just make friends with the right people and you will succeed. :) 2014

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe principal’s policies are self serving. Even in harsh winter days forces the children out into cold to toughen them. First Fridays every month brings all parents in a show off public relations campaign. Result of just these 2 unsafe policies- kids get flue, raising extremely high absents. Principal and assistant principals don’t even reply to emails. Bullying is a real problem here as well. Lack of sane policies. Lack of teachers with real teaching experience. Discrimination behind doors. Every issue is quickly tried to hush up. My son had to spend 2 yrs of hell in this school. My heart goes out to who has no better choice given it’s a zoned school. But is you have choice don’t put this on your top 12 schools in application. Hope you avoid this school.Parent Review4mo ago - Ps 201 The Discovery School For Inquiry And Resear

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is awful. There is huge bullying issues and if you’re not loaded with money or an honer roll student your child is an immediate target. If your child is one of these kids that aren’t loaded or top of the class your child will be verbally abused. My kid has been called special needs by the head principal of the school, needs to go to a mental health doctor for asking to get tissues during mincha. Kids in this school bully others so bad I hear story’s that they spit on their face and call them names like horse, autist, and Ed. The teachers are hit or miss some of them are great but 70% of them didn’t even graduate college they take off school so much the substitutes are known as a teacher to them. The problem with the substitutes is they don’t learn with them they either ignore the kids and go on their phone or give the kids a free period and let them play outside. If you want your kid to learn at home or study teachers don’t give out reviews or homework my son hasn’t had homework since 4th grade before Covid. PS: principals will embarrass your kid infront of the whole school and make him feel like a nobody.Other Review10mo ago - Most Holy Redeemer Catholic
