Bonny Kate Elementary

Summary:

Bonny Kate Elementary is a public elementary school in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving 394 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Knox County school district, which is ranked 72 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bonny Kate Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.55%) compared to nearby schools like South Knox Elementary and Dogwood Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally on par with or slightly above the Knox County and Tennessee averages, but its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 291 out of 1,008 schools in 2023-2024 to 616 out of 1,000 schools in 2021-2022. Bonny Kate Elementary's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking higher for male students and white students compared to female students and students with special needs or low socioeconomic status.

The school's racial homogeneity and performance gaps between student subgroups suggest potential issues with equity and representation. When compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Sequoyah Elementary, Bonny Kate Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, particularly in areas like mathematics and English Language Arts. This could indicate that the school may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies of its counterparts to improve overall academic excellence and address the needs of all students.

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.
