Summary

Henry E. Bonner Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Moncks Corner, SC, serving 808 students in grades PK-5 within the Berkeley 01 school district, where 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

This school presents a fascinating mix of strengths and challenges. The most impressive highlight is its exceptional performance with African American students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for their academic growth—a dramatic improvement that stands out as a model of effectiveness. However, the school struggles significantly with its White student population, ranking in just the 14th percentile, creating a large internal achievement gap that suggests instructional approaches may be working well for one group but not translating to success for another. Chronic absenteeism is also a serious concern, with 29.1% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025, well above both district (23.9%) and state (22.3%) averages. This likely plays a major role in the school's overall middling performance, which sits at the 44th percentile statewide (2 stars).

On a positive note, math is a clear area of momentum. Fourth and fifth-grade math proficiency rates (54.1% and 48.4%) actually exceed district averages, and the school has shown strong upward trends across all grade levels in recent years. When compared to nearby schools, Bonner significantly outperforms Cross Elementary (10th percentile) and Moncks Corner Elementary (13th percentile), while lagging behind the high-performing Cane Bay Elementary (77th percentile). It's most comparable to Foxbank Elementary (47th percentile) and Whitesville Elementary (32nd percentile), though Bonner's standout success with its African American students is a unique strength not reflected in those schools' data. Per-student spending ($13,311) is above the district average but lower than some smaller struggling schools nearby. Addressing the achievement gap and absenteeism are the two biggest opportunities for improvement.
