Alton Bowen Elementary School

This was such a good school for our son. He was a first grader here and his teachers were AMAZING! The principal is also UNBELIEVABLE! Best principal ever I believe. She was so welcoming and warm and so happy to have us "join the family". I would recommend going to this school if you get the chance! I can't say enough good things about this school. The only "weird" thing is they have open concept classrooms. I thought it was not a good idea but my son never complained about it.

Both of my children attended Ross and we had a wonderful experience at this school. The teachers are amazing!

It's my son's first year of school 2021 the school assistant principal would only come up to me when I would come early to pick up my child who needs assistance walking to the car his not aware of danger all kids get dismissed when the bell rings she gave me a warning not to come early it didn't make sense but it's the rules. Not even 1 week later we get a notice that they are switching my child to another school they weren't very understanding it was just totally random decision they made. My child was perfectly fine here he loves his teachers it takes a while for kids with autism to get adjusted they weren't very understanding of that they just wanted us to go. The teachers are nice the staff I interacted with while picking up my child were nice. The only thing that is worrisome is the pickup line and rules they shouldn't dismiss all the kids outside when the bell rings not everyone is the same but accidents can happen the school is right next to the freeway/feeder you would think it would be common sense bc not all teachers are strong enough to hold onto kids who are runners or try wandering off.

My son recently completed his elementary years of which all were spent at Mitchell. We found this to be a challenging yet student centered school. The principal is an outstanding leader for the students, parents, and teachers.

I am extremely disappointed with this school especially coming from Southwood Valley. The teachers here seem to be sweet and caring but for some reason my child is always in trouble for something even little things I personally wouldn't get onto him about. They worry about the wrong things in the teaching aspect and I honestly feel like unless your child has the curriculum already down they are going to have a hard time. Julie Harris is the math teacher and doesn't seem to take the time to teach them properly and just finds everything with the child and their learning abilities to be wrong. The bullying and poor behavior seems to be ok for some children but wrong for others as well. If I could I'd give zero stars for this school and would never recommend this school to anyone.

This school was beyond terrible. It claims to be rigorous but was lagging far behind. I went an entire year and no emails to the teacher were acknowledged or responded to unless the principal was copied in the email. Any problem that arises will be dealt with an a rude, hostile manner. I've spoken to many who have had the same experience here. They have terrible leadership. I would not send my child here if it were free.
