Summary

Bond Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tallahassee, Florida, serving 576 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Leon District, which is ranked 47 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bond Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all below the district and state levels, with 5th-grade Science proficiency at just 35% compared to 51% for the district and 55% for the state. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating both decreasing.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as The School of Arts & Sciences Centre, J. Michael Conley Elementary School at Southwood, and Kate Sullivan Elementary School generally perform better than Bond Elementary in terms of academic proficiency and school rankings, suggesting that the challenges faced by Bond may be unique to the school and its student population.
