Summary

John R Bonfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lititz, Pennsylvania, serving 464 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Warwick School District, which is ranked 121 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, John R Bonfield Elementary has shown mixed performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 501 and 842 out of over 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts were 48.2% and 55.3%, respectively, which are higher than the state averages. However, the school's performance in certain grade levels and subject areas, such as 5th grade Math and 6th grade Math, is below the district and state averages. The school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is investing resources, but the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of funding.

When compared to nearby schools, John R Bonfield Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the Warwick School District, such as John Beck Elementary and Lititz Elementary. However, the school's performance lags behind some higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Brownstown Elementary in the Conestoga Valley School District and Nitrauer School in the Manheim Township School District.
