Bonham High School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and a student population that is more racially diverse and economically disadvantaged compared to the state average. The school has ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past 7 years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC exams, is below the state and district averages across all subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.86% of Bonham High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 44.73% statewide. The school also struggles with performance across several student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile for African American, White, and low socioeconomic status students.

However, Bonham High School does show some strengths, particularly in its performance for English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students, where it ranks in the middle third of Texas high schools. Nearby schools like Honey Grove High School, Bells High School, and Whitewright High School generally outperform Bonham High School, suggesting that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from its neighbors and implement effective strategies to improve outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
