The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,902 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 25.7% local, 67.0% state, and 7.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $85,097 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 47/100, ranked #147 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 323.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 27.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 56.5% White, 21.0% Hispanic or Latino, 12.9% African American across the district's schools.

Bonner Springs High accounts for 31.9% of all Bonner Springs student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Bonner Springs-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Bonner Springs chronic absenteeism rate is 27.6% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Bonner Springs is typically wider than the Bonner Springs-aggregate figure suggests.
