Bowen is a pretty easy school to graduate from. A little nice school if you keep to your self. Classrooms sometimes don't have a teacher. Food is sometimes okay. Events are planned that students often time enjoy.

What I like about the school is the the sports and its coaching staff.I like how the school is separate in different areas and how the divide the classes with certain individuals.Its certain things that I wish I can change such as the school color and lunches.

I can't say that their teaching ways are very great because that would be a lie. Not every teacher cares about students actually knowing what they being taught,
