[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi,

We are moving to Bowie, MD and the local schools are less than ideal.  We are looking into private school options--Catholic school are okay.  We will be living in Bowie and commuting to downtown DC everyday.  Does anyone have any insight on great schools and/or schools to avoid that would be in Bowie or on the way into the city?  We are looking for pre-k and elementary recommendations.  Daycares wouldn't hurt either!

Thanks so much.  Feel free to email me or at jessica.c.parisi@gmail.com or reply to this thread.  [/quote]

A lot of the public ES in Bowie are great and are just as good/better than the private options.

The local elementary school is Pointer Ridge.  Do you have any insight on that school?  The numbers didn't seem great.[/quote]

I have heard positive things through the grape vine but I don't have any first hand experience.  It is an EGATE school so they likely focus a lot on the high achieving students.
IMO it is worth trying out before paying money to go to a private school.  It seems like it is a smaller school (~350 kids) and seriously under enrolled (50% capacity).   
I know there has been a lot of discussions about moving boundaries for Bowie schools.  You might try to reach out to the PTA to see if they can provide any feedback.
