Summary:

Bonner Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the Bonner, Montana area, providing education for students in grades PK-5. With 227 students enrolled, the school's performance has been somewhat mixed compared to state averages, with fluctuating rankings over the past few years. While the school outperformed its district in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, its ELA and Math scores were slightly below the state average, though its Science proficiency was higher.

Bonner School's free/reduced lunch rate of 41.85% indicates a significant portion of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance.
