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.

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.

Cowan is such a small school that you know everyone. It was overall an amazing experience and all the teachers honestly really care about you and what happens to you.

My years at Cowan have certainly prepared me for the next step in my life. Being from a small community made my experiences a lot more meaningful and memorable. The teachers and administration do all they can to prepare us for our lives beyond high school. I appreciate every experience I have had and will take a lot of pride being alumni of Cowan Schools.

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.
