At Bowie, I learned to collaborate with people from all backgrounds, improved my communication skills, developed my public speaking skills, and expanded my mental capacity. The schools does its best to provide students with all sorts of resources, from verbal guidances to administrating the most advanced devices. While the faculty administrators can sometimes be dismissive towards students, most teachers here are kind and obliging. The majority of my teachers hold a greater value on personal achievement and improvement rather than scores and statistics - a trait in which I believe has been the most helpful throughout my high school years. Of course, every school has its flaws; at Bowie, it would definitely be the students that brush off sexual assault, the dangers of harmful drugs, and gang activity. Also, the student parking lot is a nightmare. Bowie is a decent school overall.
Bowie high school has mostly great teachers, they truly care about their students! The administrators such as assistant principals, and district boards seem as if they do not care for their students needs, but rather they cater to their own needs. The school also has a tendency to create useless rules, that are ineffective and are only enforced on some students. The school lunches look like prison food, and the resources are often broken and/or hanging on by its last legs. Overall the education is average, but the upper level staff lack care for their students.
You can find quite a diverse group of students and faculty here. It is also relatively easy to get involved at BHS--sports, arts, clubs and this somewhat plays a part in the overall culture. The academics are fine but challenging in-a-good-way for those who are interested in IB. I say in-a-good-way because this challenge ultimately molds you into a more prepared student and makes you more college-ready. The IB Program as well as its faculty I find are also very considerate of students and their personal and educational growth. You are welcome to communicate with them if there are any challenges you face while in the program and/or if you need anything to better your educational experience.
