Bonham Elementary

Summary:

Bonham Elementary is a public elementary school in Bryan, Texas, serving 526 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Bryan Independent School District, which is ranked 626 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Bonham Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the district and state averages, particularly for African American and Hispanic student subgroups. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 35.92% of 3rd-grade students at Bonham were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 42.53% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Nearby schools like Henderson Elementary and Fannin Elementary outperformed Bonham in this metric.

Bonham Elementary also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 82.13% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools within the Bryan ISD, which range from 64.79% to 95.89% free or reduced-price lunch recipients. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, but its academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
