Bonham Elementary

Summary:

Bonham Elementary is a public elementary school in Midland, Texas, serving around 640 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Midland Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 556 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

Bonham Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (around 70%) compared to the district and state averages, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, and lower academic performance than the district and state across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency was 32.89% compared to the district's 42.46% and the state's 48.85%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing well but Asian and White students struggling. Additionally, Bonham Elementary has a high percentage of students (around 68%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools within the Midland ISD, such as Bush Elementary and Rusk Elementary, Bonham Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The school's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top 50% in 2017-2018 to the bottom 30% in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and address the systemic inequities faced by the school's high-need student population.

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.
