The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I think our teachers are amazing and they are available to students many times throughout the day for help and to answer questions. The administration is great too and are always trying to be involved with the students. I think that the way our grading system works sometimes isn't the best, we do not do class ranking or weighted GPA's which hurts a lot of students who thrive academically.

I loved the teachers I had. They were able to know me and teach me, not just as a student, but as a person. My teachers had inside students with jokes, and custom greetings. I was able to know teachers outside of class and it made an environment I felt really safe in. The only parts I didn't like was how mean people could be. There were many people who liked to share their negative views about groups of minorities.

As a current student at Bow High School, I have had many positive experiences with many of my teachers, as well as my peers. This school made me feel important and made me feel more like a person rather than a statistic. I have grown close bonds with some of my teachers and I like how small the school is.

The Bow School district doesn’t care about bullies! If you’re beautiful, popular, can lie, and your parents and you are involved in sports, then go ahead and bully other students. Make them feel anger and pain and worthlessness until they finally snap and punch you right in the face or even say some...

After working in a few different schools in this state, I can say that this is one of the best in NH. The staff put students first and want students to learn the material, not just "test well". It is an upper middle class community and parents do expect a lot from the school and students, which is g...

BHS prepares you for college and life. My oldest graduated from BHS and continued on to UNH. On several occasions, he has commented on how well BHS prepared him for college work. The other college students were struggling with basic writing work and didn't know how to balance fun with schoolwork. Li...
