McDowall State School

Highly discriminatory to people with disabilities. They deliberately force children with disabilities to leave the school through abusive treatment, inadequate support and lack of response. Do not send your child here if they have any kind of support needs.

I was here from prep- grade 3. It was an awesome school, they made sure everyone was safe. They put our safety before our education, even when I broke my arm their they knew what to do.

This was my past school, and my time was enjoyable. I was there from prep to the end of grade three. The teachers were nice but the walkway parent-kid pickup was chaos.

McDowall would statistically be one of the safest and best-performing public schools in Brisbane, having had only seven short suspensions and has been free of any long suspensions and exclusions over the past five years. The only other public schools that would have the same ratio of disciplinary absences or less include Ithaca Creek, Ironside and Windsor.
