Bonham Middle has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (45.5%) and African American (18.65%) students. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. However, Bonham Middle performs better in Algebra I End of Course exams, with 93.33% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the Temple Independent School District (33.73%) and state (44.73%) averages. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White students and Gifted and Talented students performing relatively better compared to other subgroups, while English Language Learners and Special Education students perform lower.

Bonham Middle has experienced a gradual decline in enrollment over the years and a shift in its racial composition, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students. Compared to the nearby schools, such as Nolan Middle, Salado Middle, and Raymond Mays Middle, Bonham Middle generally performs lower on academic measures, with the exception of Algebra I End of Course exams. This may indicate a need to learn from the instructional practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the area. Additionally, Bonham Middle's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (66.08% in 2022-2023) suggests that the school may face additional challenges in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged population, which can impact academic achievement.

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.
