What Parents Should Know

Test scores at Bonny Eagle High School sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.

Bonny Eagle High School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

48% of students at Bonny Eagle High School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
