Summary:
The Bonham Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two middle schools: Evans Elementary and Rather L H. These schools serve students in the Bonham area and face a mix of strengths and challenges in their academic performance.
Evans Elementary stands out for its relatively high percentage of White students (55.61%) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (69.25%), indicating a high-need student population. However, the school struggles with lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, particularly in the 4th and 5th grades, compared to district and state averages. In contrast, Rather L H excels in STAAR EOC Algebra I, with an exceptional proficiency rate of 92.86%, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Yet, the school also faces relatively low proficiency rates in STAAR Mathematics and Social Studies.
The Bonham ISD as a whole is ranked 649 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting the district may face broader challenges in providing quality education. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students across both schools may contribute to the lower academic performance observed in some areas, particularly in STAAR Mathematics. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and implementing more consistent and targeted instructional strategies could help improve the overall performance of the schools within the district.
