Bonner Elementary

Summary:

Bonner Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 613 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bonner Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past decade. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in science, where only 5.38% of 5th graders met proficiency, compared to the district's 22.69% and the state's 26.29%. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (95.11%) and economically disadvantaged (97.72%), which may contribute to these academic struggles. However, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,321 and lower student-teacher ratio of 16.1 suggest potential opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Interestingly, the nearby Lewis Elementary and Rucker Elementary schools in the Houston Independent School District have similar demographic profiles and academic performance to Bonner Elementary, while some schools outside the district, such as Matthys Elementary and Pstem Academy, have higher academic performance and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that factors beyond just the district may be influencing student outcomes.

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.
