Bunker Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.22%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of minority students.

In 2022-2023, only 21.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, and only 5.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science and English Language Arts.

This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide quality education to its students, potentially due to funding and resource challenges faced by the Bunker R-III school district.
