Summary

Bowie Elementary in Greenville, TX, serves 601 students in grades K-4 within the Greenville Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 9th percentile statewide. Despite serving a high-poverty community where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, Bowie Elementary has shown a strong upward trend, moving from the 23rd percentile to the 35th percentile in state rankings over the last three years. This makes it a relative bright spot within its district, consistently outperforming nearby schools like Crockett Elementary and Carver Elementary in nearly every subject and grade level.

What truly sets Bowie Elementary apart is its exceptional performance with specific student groups. The school's Gifted & Talented program has undergone a remarkable transformation, jumping from the 9th percentile to the 96th percentile statewide—a five-star rating that is a standout success. Additionally, Bowie ranks in the 72nd percentile for English Language Learners, and its 4th-grade Spanish Reading scores were nearly double the district average. This effectiveness with diverse learners is a key strength, though the school faces challenges in serving all its students equally well, with some groups performing below the school's overall average.

Compared to its closest rival, Lamar Elementary, just over a mile away with a similar poverty rate, Bowie shows more recent momentum. In the latest school year, Bowie outperformed Lamar in 3rd-grade Reading (45.22% vs. 37.96%) and 3rd-grade Math (41.8% vs. 34.86%). However, both schools still lag behind higher-performing, lower-poverty schools in neighboring districts, such as Kathryn Griffis Elementary in the Caddo Mills Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 83rd percentile. For parents, Bowie Elementary represents a school that is clearly on the rise, with targeted strengths that make it a compelling choice within Greenville ISD.
