Thomas E. Bowe Elementary School

This school get a lot of undue criticism. As a child I attended the school and the teachers were some of the most memorable and interactive people I encountered. (Which sparked my enthusiasm to become an educator.) Twelve years later, my siblings attended and feel the same way. My daughter is currently in fifth grade and LOVES her school and teachers! Last year she was in an inclusive class with teachers who pushed her and helped her to see how intelligent she is when she puts in the effort. They also were very helpful with her ever changing schedule as her father and I had separated. This school was truly wonderful!

I went to the school for exactly 5 months and I was miserable.Not only were the students bullies and people were racists, but the teachers were rude and not helpful. From what I heard from other students about some of the teachers they had at that school,they were mean and they didn't listen to their explanations.The guidance counsler; however was very kind and helpful.She listened to what i had to say and she told me what I should do about it.For parents who are considering sending their child to this school,I'm warning you now that they are VERY rascist at this school,whether it's students or teachers

Thomas E. Bowe has a collection of the best teachers and staff I have seen in NJ. Of course there is always people who will complain but overall the teachers are there for the students. The extra curricular clubs and academic enhancements are student driven and teacher supported. In the area of spe. ed., mostly all the teachers are trained and able to work work with students who have unique needs. This is a wonderful school.
