Summary

Bonham Middle in Temple, TX, serves 627 students in grades 6-8 within the Temple Independent School District (Isd) and has achieved a remarkable turnaround from a 1-star rating to a consistent 3-star rating, now ranking in the 57th percentile of Texas middle schools.

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional mathematics program, particularly in 8th grade and Algebra I. In the 2025-2026 school year, 73.42% of Bonham’s 8th graders were proficient in math—far exceeding the district average of 55.5% and the state average of 47.24%. Even more impressive, 97.14% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, more than double the district average of 42.88%. This performance surpasses nearby schools like Lake Belton Middle (38.03% in 8th grade math) and Salado Middle (23.71%), despite Bonham serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (67% vs. 26% and 20%, respectively). However, 7th grade math remains a challenge, with only 18.67% proficient, suggesting a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for later success.

Bonham is the clear academic leader within Temple ISD, outperforming in-district peers like Lamar Middle (15th percentile) and Travis Science Academy (32nd percentile) across most subjects. The school is particularly effective with its Gifted and Talented students (77th percentile) and shows strong results for students from low socio-economic backgrounds (59th percentile). With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 and spending in line with peers, Bonham demonstrates efficient resource use, making it a compelling choice for families seeking strong academic growth, especially in advanced math.
