W H Bonner Elementary has consistently performed above the state average in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments across grades 3-5, with particularly strong performance in 5th-grade Mathematics, where the proficiency rate reached 78% in 2020-2021, significantly exceeding the state average of 43%. However, the school's performance in STAAR Science for 5th grade has been relatively lower, ranging from 24% to 36% proficiency, compared to the state average of around 30%. The school maintains a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic performance.

However, some Lufkin ISD schools, such as Sarah Strinden Elementary, have shown stronger academic performance in certain grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school's performance data reveals some achievement gaps between different student subgroups, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational outcomes.
