Summary

Bonham High School in Bonham, TX, serves 591 students in grades 9-12 within the Bonham Independent School District (Isd), located in a rural area of North Texas where approximately 58% of students are economically disadvantaged.

Bonham High School has historically ranked in the lower-middle tier of Texas high schools, but recent data shows a significant decline to the 20th percentile statewide, its lowest ranking in a decade. This drop is widespread, affecting nearly all student subgroups, including those from low socioeconomic backgrounds and special education, suggesting systemic challenges. For example, in Algebra I, only 14.1% of Bonham students met proficiency, compared to 52.5% at nearby Bells High School and 56.5% at Honey Grove High School. Similarly, in Biology, Bonham's proficiency rate of 54.2% lags far behind Rayburn High School's 92.7% and Bells' 88.5%. Even the closest neighbor, Ector High School, outperforms Bonham in core subjects, with Algebra I proficiency nearly three times higher.

Despite these academic struggles, Bonham maintains a strong graduation rate above 93% and a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, indicating students stay in school but may not master core content. Interestingly, the school's Gifted and Talented program excels, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide, a stark contrast to the overall performance. This paradox suggests that while high-achieving students are well-served, general education support needs significant improvement. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment for retention but raises concerns about academic preparedness compared to higher-performing peers like Trenton High School and Wolfe City High School.
