This is the best experience in my educational path learning about all the topics I’m interested during my 4 years of high school and getting answers to all my cuestiones , getting to know different cultures with my friend because of the diversity of cultures involved in my education will provide a better understanding about life and different situations in my future ahead, interacting with the teachers and the labs getting my hands in everything I need to learn to lead me to my college career will be definitely determining what I want to do in my choices for my masters.
Having the opportunity to get involved in differents club will help me to get a better person get more social interaction with my partners in classes been able to have the space the facilities and the time to do sports and activities that help with my mental health and physical health have a important tool in my life , having the support of the teachers and the counselors around my school years is a strong foundation

The school is well-protected and easy to navigate. there is a large array of clubs/activities/extracurriculars/sports that are simple to apply to. With a choice of AP classes and tutoring schedules, the guidance counselors are helpful and easy to contact. The design of the lunchroom resembles a restaurant and overall is clean. However, the number of AP classes is limited for each year and many students can be loud and obnoxious at times. I would like to see an upgrade in materials available for study halls and for students who need the time to work, because sometimes the library is taken for teachers to have a class.
John Bowne is a really diverse school with students and teachers from many races and cultures. As a senior of this high school I have experienced a lot and know what happens in this school. Firstly, the inside of the school has thin hallways that us students get clumped up in and it causes traffic jams, which gets worse after students constantly stop in the halls and talk to their gangs of friends. In addition, there are a lot of fights that happen in this school which get out of control and have to be stopped by security. Speaking of security the main entrance has three metal detectors that scan the students and visitors, which mostly have problems working and cause problems for the students trying to attend their classes on time. However, despite all these negatives this school has caring staff and teachers who care for the students' future and education. There are also many sports and clubs that students can attend which improves the school spirit and community.
