Bonner Elementary

Summary:

Bonner Elementary is a public elementary school in Tyler, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 415. The school is part of the Tyler Independent School District, which is ranked 501 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bonner Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (73.73%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 18.78% to 60.07% Hispanic students. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,435 and 2,896 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. Bonner Elementary also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.77% to 97.05% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

While Bonner Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students and Hispanic students outperforming their peers, the school's overall academic performance suggests it faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. In comparison, nearby schools like Woods Elementary and Caldwell Arts Academy, which are both magnet schools, consistently outperform Bonner Elementary and the district as a whole on test scores and statewide rankings.

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.
