Bonham Elementary

Summary:

Bonham Elementary is a public elementary school in San Angelo, Texas, serving 525 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the San Angelo Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bonham Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, declining statewide rankings, and achievement gaps among student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.04% of 3rd graders at Bonham were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.14% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has also decreased from 738 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 2,461 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 4 stars to 2 stars. Additionally, Bonham's performance is lower for Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students compared to other subgroups.

While Bonham Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Ft. Concho Elementary and Santa Rita Elementary, it performs better than some of the lower-performing nearby schools, such as Reagan Elementary and Fannin Elementary. Additionally, Bonham's spending per student has increased, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a significant role in the school's academic performance.

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.
