Henry E. Bonner Elementary

Summary:

Henry E. Bonner Elementary is a public elementary school in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, serving 828 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Berkeley 01 school district, which is ranked 37 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Henry E. Bonner Elementary has a predominantly white student population (68.24%), its academic performance is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 50.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 53.8% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well but white and low-socioeconomic status students struggling and ranking in the bottom quartile of the state.

Compared to other schools in the district, Henry E. Bonner Elementary generally underperforms. For instance, Cane Bay Elementary outperforms Henry E. Bonner Elementary across multiple academic measures, including ELA and math proficiency rates. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 304 out of 639 schools in 2016-2017 to 403 out of 638 schools in 2023-2024. This trend, along with the school's high poverty rate (100% free and reduced-price lunch), suggests that the school and district should closely examine their instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
