Summary:
In zip code 78205, there is one elementary school, Bonham Academy, which serves grades PK through 8 and is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd).
Bonham Academy presents a unique "two schools" dynamic. On one hand, its advanced coursework is exceptional: 100% of students taking English I Reading and 82.22% taking Algebra I were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, far exceeding state averages. On the other hand, standard grade-level performance is a major concern. Math proficiency is critically low across all grades, with 7th grade hitting just 2.27% proficiency. Reading scores are mixed, with only 7th grade (53.62%) above the state average. The school's state ranking has declined from the 53rd percentile to the 34th percentile over three years, despite a 0% dropout rate and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2.
Key metrics include an enrollment of 713 students, with 64.66% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Spending per student is $10,249. The school's bilingual STAAR program shows extreme volatility, with 5th-grade Math at 80% proficiency but 4th-grade Math at 0%. This inconsistency, combined with the stark contrast between advanced and standard course performance, suggests resources may be heavily focused on a select group of students while the broader population struggles, particularly in mathematics. The declining trajectory and critical 7th-grade math scores are red flags that warrant close attention from parents considering this school.
