Summary

Bonner Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 596 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state.

Bonner Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 2,400 and 4,000 out of around 4,600 schools. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in 5th grade Science. While Bonner Elementary spends more per student compared to the district average, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of around 16:1, which is higher than nearby schools like Lewis Elementary and Patterson Elementary.

Bonner Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,492 out of 4,320 schools in 2014-2015 to 3,951 out of 4,578 schools in 2020-2021. This trend is concerning and suggests that the school may be struggling to address the needs of its diverse student population, which includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged and English language learner students. Comparing Bonner Elementary to nearby schools in the same district provides valuable insights into the factors that may be contributing to the school's struggles and opportunities for improvement.
