This School’s Reviews

5.0 Senior

4/25/2025

At the beginning of my freshman year of high school everything was quite hectic since we were in pandemic. We were doing classes online and had to accommodate to the new way of learning. In many ways I do say that this affected my high school experience since when we came back to in person classes they changed everything. A lot of new restrictions were implemented and new rules were set. All of our fist year coming back we still had to wear masks which wasn't ver pleasant and had to keep our distance at all times. The teachers in some aspects had to change their way of teaching since a lot activity's that were done before were not forbidden. Honestly I would of just changed the way they started teaching us since because of all the new restrictions we were not learning as how we use to.

My experience as a student at the Bowie high school is an honor for me since I am in a school where I feel safe and I know that I can count on all the members of my school, without a doubt I would put my children in this school and as is our motto "once a bear, always a bear"
