The schools in the Bonner Springs district generally have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.76% at Bonner Springs High to 62.17% at Edwardsville Elementary. This suggests that many families in the area are facing economic challenges, which may have implications for the types of support and resources the schools need to provide to their students. The relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.6 at Edwardsville Elementary to 13.9 at Bonner Springs High, indicate that the schools may have the capacity to provide more individualized attention and support to students, but the overall academic performance suggests that factors beyond just class size may be contributing to the challenges these schools face.
