Owen is a community school that partners with United Way to connect with the community and be a resource hub for our whole valley. I work at Owen Middle, and am also a parent, and I am happy to self my kids there and contribute to the positive community there.

this school sucks theres to much drama and teachers are so rude to students and theres alot of harassments and when u go tell the teachers they do nothing to help u and then u go to the principal he doesn't do anything about it and theres to many lockdowns we have them almost every week.
