John Bowne is a large, comprehensive high school best known for its nationally-recognized program in agriculture. Located between the campuses of CUNY Law School and Queens College, the school serves a very diverse student body with a large English language learner (ELL) population. In recent years the school has struggled with overcrowding, crime, and a high rate of suspensions, conditions that led to its designation as an Impact School, meaning that it was identified by the city as a facility in need of extra security. Frank McQuail has been principal since September 2004.
