As of 2020 the district had 300 elementary school students.[4]

History

Bowman and Rhame schools consolidated in 2005.[5]

David Mahon served as the superintendent.[6] In summer 2018 he was removed from his position and given $90,000 in severance pay after he was charged with misdemeanors related to drug offenses. In 2019 he entered into a plea where the charges are suspended and would be expunged if he maintained good behavior for 365 days.[7]

In 2020 the Central Elementary Public School District 32 dissolved,[8] and was divided between Bowman County School District No. 1 and New England School District No. 9.[9]
