Read what parents are saying about Bonham Elementary SchoolThere are several teachers to come and go through this school. My daughter had one of the best years last year. Miss Fuentes and Mrs Couch built her self esteem and let her know she could do ANYTHING she put her mind to. With all the changes in staffing in sixth grade they picked up the slack and still made is a successful year for students. They dealt with billing, fighting and disrupting class. Despite all of that, they still ran effective classrooms.The new principal listened to concerns and put students needs first.
Posted by a parent on 8/7/2019Mrs. Terran the new principal is truly trying to do what is in the best interest of the students. Kids in my son's 6th grade classroom have been suspended, sent to alternative education and in school suspension due to their poor choices. The school is taking a proactive approach to discipline.
Posted by a parent on 10/8/2018I withdrew two of my children from this school and will never look back and will do whatever it takes to protect my children from people like we dealt with here.
Posted by a parent on 6/3/2018I am extremely upset with this school. Back in 2009, my oldest child graduated sixth grade. The principal was amazing, the staff always made sure my child was safe and happy, they took care of things immediately and I never complained about this school. 2014 was the first year of school for my youngest child who was starting Kindergarden. Since this school was amazing before, to my mistake, I thought it never changed and enrolled her here. I am so glad that the end of the school year is nearing because I've had nothing but a horrible experience overall. The principal and staff are completely unconnected with the parents and never seem to bother calling about anything. One thing is for sure though, my child won't be attending next year.
Posted by a parent on 5/8/2015I am very disappointed with Bonham Elem. School. They will not return phone calls. They say negative things to students. The discipline is almost non-existent. Many teachers scream at their classes. Boys call girls filthy names and when reported, the teacher says, "You shouldn't do that."....no action taken. Tutorials are cancelled way more than they have them. My two students have been hit many times and nothing is done, yet they have a no bullying policy. One teacher has said she is gay...I am not prejudiced but that is inappropriate to discuss with our children. ADHD kids are just told to quit using that as an excuse! I know all the teachers aren't bad, but some of them should not be in the teaching profession! Zero stars deserved!

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo NOT put your children in this school. #1. My son was severely bullied and after taking it all the way to the board of directors, they did nothing. They didn’t even have an anti bully policy in place until we spoke up and put “something” in place (so I’m told) in Dec 2022. #2. Kids are not learning. The majority of teachers there are parents trying to get a discount for their kids. Kids just play on their laptops, do word searches or just mess around in class. Or they spend the class going to the vending machines for snacks or wandering the halls on a “bathroom pass”. I realized how behind my kids were after withdrawing them and seeing how much they needed to catch up. They were only there for a year and a half. That’s all it took for them to get behind as they were ahead before we entered this school. #3. School safety. This should really be listed as #1. The countless doors kept open was disturbing. It’s frightening that they haven’t yet grasped this crucial safety issue. There should be a SINGLE and SECURE point of entry into that school as determined by the countless school safety reports and recommendations. #4. They call themselves a Christian school. Their actions say otherwise. They are great at casting a blind eye to those they choose and targeting others they choose. In the year and a half we were there, I didn’t see a single Bible verse in the hallways or walls as I’ve seen in other Christian schools. Christmas chapel consisted of pagan carols and no mention of Jesus. #5. No school counselors or peer mentors. No emotional or mental health options available to kids. #6. The school is not financially strong. They take massive donations from the oil donors to keep them afloat. There is so much more I can say. As someone who worked there and kids attended there, I want to warn any prospective families and avoid any grief or heartache. My family truly struggled there and we are so relieved to be out of that school. It was a huge waste of money for what we got. Despite an administration change after the event in spring of 22, the culture remained the same. The problem lies with the board of directors who control the show. They can’t be voted in or out and are there vía some process that most have no say in.Parent Review10mo ago
