Bowie High School

Brenda Sours: Bowie High School is one of the best schools in AISD. The parent participation in this school is extremely high, and the kids benefit greatly from the attention.
The Bowie Band is a premier marching band and has placed high in many country wide competitions.
If you want to live to close to downtown Austin but cannot afford to live in the Eanes School district try looking in southwest Austin, which feeds into Bowie High School.
