My experience at Bowsher High School was largely positive. The teachers were dedicated and supportive, and the extracurricular activities were diverse and engaging. However, the school could benefit from improved resources in the math department and more mental health support for students. Overall, it was a good experience, but there's room for improvement.

This school has gone down hill so far and so fast that I am sending my son to St. Francis. It will be a financial mess for me but he can't go to this school any longer.
