Summary

Bonham Elementary in Bryan, TX, is a PK-4 school in the Bryan Independent School District (Isd) serving 543 students in a high-poverty area, where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has a notable strength in early-grade math, with 48.11% of 3rd graders proficient in math in 2025-2026—9.55 percentage points above the district average and 3.78 points above the state average, outperforming nearby Mitchell Elementary (37.84%) and Navarro Elementary (18.31%). However, this success sharply reverses in 4th grade, where only 28.43% of students are proficient in math—20.15 points below the district average and 20.85 points below the state average—a dramatic drop-off not seen at comparable schools like Kemp-Carver Elementary, which scores 41.46% in 4th-grade math.

Bonham also faces a persistent gender achievement gap, with female students ranking in the 41st percentile statewide and male students in the 24th percentile in 2025-2026, a disparity more severe than at nearby Henderson Elementary or Fannin Elementary. The school’s performance with high-need populations is mixed: English Language Learner students ranked in the 61st percentile in 2024-2025, but Special Education students ranked in the 21st percentile in 2025-2026. Compared to Neal Elementary, which has a similar poverty rate (94%) but shows stronger upward trends—moving from the 24th to the 45th percentile in two years—Bonham’s overall ranking dropped from the 42nd to the 31st percentile in the same period.

Bonham’s per-student spending ($10,957) is in the middle of its peer group, less than Kemp-Carver ($12,383) and Neal ($12,758) but more than Mitchell ($10,484), suggesting resource allocation, not just funding, is key. The school’s most urgent priority is investigating why 4th-grade performance declines so sharply across subjects, as this pattern indicates potential issues with curriculum alignment or instructional transitions. Addressing this, along with the gender gap, will be critical for improving Bonham’s trajectory.
