School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>4 4/29/2022My parents moved us to Bow specifically for its school system. The town definitely puts a lot of money into its education and I absolutely loved high school. There were so many opportunities for experiences and some of my favorite teachers I've ever had. I also loved picking my extra classes. It was always hard to choose what I wanted to try out of all the good options. I still miss the art room some days.2 4/14/2016I went here before moving out of state, and let me tell you this is the worst school you could send your child through. Between teachers only caring about numbers and test scores, and the rediculous amount of work they assign students, my sister developed anxiety and depression, my good friend has had to go to therapy, and I myself have struggled with depression and self harm because of school stress. The guidance staff is rude, and not encouraging towards students. I would not ever send my child here because I believe students should not be in a comfortable environment without the workload of a college student, and having a life rather than dedicating all of my time to school work.Review Bow High School.
