Summary

Bowie Elementary in San Angelo, TX, serves 340 students in grades K-5 within the San Angelo Independent School District (Isd), and currently holds a 0-star rating, ranking in the 8th percentile statewide—a steep decline from its 2-star peak in 2021-2022.

This school faces significant challenges, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates drop alarmingly from 34% in 3rd grade to just 19% in 5th grade—the lowest among nearby schools and well below the district average of 44%. While 3rd-grade reading shows relative stability at 34% proficiency, this strength is not sustained in later grades. Interestingly, Bowie's struggles persist despite having a lower rate of economic disadvantage (62% free/reduced lunch) than several lower-performing peers like San Jacinto Elementary (88%) and Reagan Elementary (86%). The contrast with Ft Concho Elementary, a 5-star school in the same district with a 39% free/reduced lunch rate, highlights how school-level factors like leadership and instruction can create vastly different outcomes.

Every student group at Bowie—including White, Hispanic, Special Education, and low-income students—performs in the bottom 12% of the state, indicating systemic issues rather than isolated problems. Per-student spending ($7,645) is the lowest among nearby peers, yet higher-spending schools like San Jacinto ($11,053) also struggle, suggesting resource allocation matters more than total funding. A former bright spot in 5th-grade science (44% proficiency in 2022-2023) has since faded to 10%, underscoring a lack of consistent programming. For parents, this data suggests a school in urgent need of targeted intervention, especially in math and upper-grade instruction.

The principal Mr flowers is rude and disregards custody orders just to speak with the male parent instead of the custodial parent and primary contact list on all enrollment forms. I believe he does this on purpose to perpetuate a good ol’ boy culture Close Quote
