My daughter attends Bowers. The principal and teachers/staff are all great: professional, approachable, enthusiastic, and genuinely invested in their students. The school includes extras like music, computer training, and drama. The overall atmosphere of the school is positive and friendly. My daughter enjoys going to school and likes the staff.

My son went to Bowers from kindergarten to 5th grade. Every teacher that he had there was excellent. The teachers were accessible and always willing to answer questions.

Bowers Elementary is a wonderful school and community and we are very pleased with the level of education our daughter is receiving in kindergarten. Mrs. Sanderson, our daughter's teacher is fantastic and listens to parents and their requests and finds ways to challenge students to help them grow. Principal Moss is also a great asset to the school. Overall the faculty is experienced and very dedicated to the children. Thank you!

We moved here a couple months ago from the best school district in San Diego so naturally our expectations for an elementary school was high. Our daughter is currently attending first grade at Bowers & unfortunately will not be returning next fall. From the very beginning of the school year, my daughter would come home from with homework that was very similar to the ones she received in kindergarten. I assumed that the teacher wanted to review material that students have already learned and then move on to the next subject. This was not the case. According to the teacher, the homework that they bring home reflects what they are currently learning in class. If that is indeed true, why have we not seen any progression in what she is learning in math or reading comprehension? Bottom line, Bowers will not deliver a challenging environment for your kids.
