I am a freshman, so my experience is really just beginning, but here it is. The teachers are nice and will work with you. The rules are a bit stricter than other schools but they are not that hard to follow. We really pour out heart and soul into the athletics. Overall it is a good school.

Cowan High School is a very average school. Due to it being a small school there's not a huge variety of academic ability, but what is there is still good. The best subject that is taught in the school would be any form of history due to all the amazing teachers that teach it. Sports wise Cowan is towards the top in all sports, we have a very good athletic program at the school. If there was one thing I would change about the school though would be the lunches. There is no effort into the lunches and the school has a tendency to serve food that's a week old. So if that can be improved then overall Cowan would be a good school.

They don't care about your children just the money they get for them. You are nothing but a number. Elementary was good but high school no.
