Summary

Bonham Elementary in Midland, TX, is a PK-6 campus within the Midland Independent School District (Isd) serving 697 students in a densely populated area, with nearly 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school shows signs of recovery, rising from the 26th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026, though its history includes dramatic swings, indicating it has yet to establish consistent, long-term growth.

Bonham’s most striking feature is its exceptional performance in 6th grade math, where 62% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—nearly 20 points above the district average and 24 points above the state average. This "Bonham Bounce" is a complete inversion of the school’s typical pattern, as most other grade levels lag behind district and state averages. In contrast, nearby Bush Elementary (61st percentile) and Sam Houston Collegiate Preparatory Elementary (63rd percentile) show strong, balanced performance across all subjects, while Bonham’s struggling peers like Long Elementary (8th percentile) and Lamar Elementary (6th percentile) have even higher poverty rates. Bonham’s 42nd percentile ranking places it significantly above these neighbors, suggesting it does a better job mitigating the impact of economic challenges on academic outcomes.

The school also shows notable strengths in serving English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education students, ranking in the 66th and 55th percentiles respectively in 2025-2026—a major improvement for ELL students from the 29th percentile the prior year. However, Bonham faces challenges, including a "Jekyll and Hyde" performance in 5th grade, where reading proficiency (58%) outpaces math (42%), and consistently low scores on STAAR Spanish tests, indicating its Spanish-language program needs improvement. The school’s standout 6th grade math success is a powerful asset that the district should investigate and potentially replicate in other grades and subjects.
