Bonanza Elementary School

Summary:

Bonanza Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bonanza, Oregon, serving 233 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Klamath County School District, which is ranked 88 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bonanza Elementary School consistently performs below the Klamath County School District and Oregon state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 33.8% in the district and 39% statewide. The school's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is better than its overall performance, but the school's performance for other student subgroups, such as White and Male students, is significantly lower than the state average. Bonanza Elementary has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in Oregon.

Nearby schools in the Klamath County School District, such as Peterson Elementary and Stearns Elementary, also perform below the state averages in ELA and Mathematics, but generally outperform Bonanza Elementary School. However, Ferguson Elementary School, located outside of the Klamath County School District, consistently outperforms Bonanza and the other nearby schools in both academic proficiency and school rankings. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to Bonanza Elementary's low performance, such as socioeconomic disparities and instructional effectiveness, could be crucial in driving improvements and better serving the needs of the Bonanza community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
