Summary:
Bonner Springs has five schools: three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, each serving 331 to 778 students. Across the five schools, average All Grades proficiency was 43% in English Language Arts (ELA), 33% in math and 39% in science, compared with state results of 46%, 41% and 38%. Math is the clearest area-wide weakness: the average school result was 8 percentage points below the state figure.
Bonner Springs Elementary stands out, leading the five schools in all three subjects, with 52% proficient in ELA, 41% in math and 50% in science—about 12, 10 and 14 points above the other four schools’ averages. Its fourth-grade results are especially strong: 75% in ELA versus 50% statewide, and 51% in math versus 44%. At the lower end, Delaware Ridge Elementary had the lowest ELA and math results, at 37% and 23%; Bonner Springs High had the lowest science result, at 30%. All Grades comparisons across schools are descriptive because the schools serve different grade spans.
Scores improved in some places, but not uniformly: average ELA and math results rose by about 1 point from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while state results rose by about 1 and 2 points, respectively. SchoolDigger statewide percentile ranks also show mixed trajectories: they rose from 20 to 41 at Bonner Springs High and from 23 to 38 at Robert E. Clark Middle, but fell from 27 to 16 at Delaware Ridge Elementary and from 60 to 38 at Edwardsville Elementary. Attendance is another area to consider: every school’s chronic absenteeism exceeded the statewide 18%, ranging from 20% at Bonner Springs Elementary to 42% at Bonner Springs High.
