Bunker Hill's diverse student population, with 50.34% White, 18.67% Hispanic, and 21.52% Asian students, is a key differentiator compared to nearby schools like Shadow Oaks Elementary and Woodview Elementary, which have higher concentrations of specific racial groups. Additionally, Bunker Hill's Gifted and Talented program is highly ranked, with the school's Gifted and Talented students ranking in the top 9% of Texas elementary schools.

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.

Open Quote I am so pleased with BHE. The teachers truly love what they do and are so happy to be working at this school. The parent involvement is wonderful. The PTA makes sure that the teachers and students have everything they need.

I have one child that is in 1st grade. My second will be here in a couple years. I am very involved and so glad that we landed at BHE. Close Quote

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.
