GreatSchools Rating
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.

Bowdon high school is a very welcoming, and friendly small school where everyone knows everyone. The teachers and administration is the best part. With fun and understanding teachers it would be hard not to succeed

I love the teachers and most of the students at Bowdon High school. However, I would like it even more if students did not get away with stuff just because they are stars on the football field. Overall, BHS has a very home-like feel where students are able to build close-knit relationships with each other and their teachers.

Great administration. For a small school, the academic opportunities are big. The staff is personal. Many clubs and extracurricular activities to get involved in. Would be good to have more AP classes.

As a 3rd generation student of Bowdon, I can say that I really enjoyed my time here. I love the small town "at home" feel of the school and the traditions associated with athletics.
