Bonham ISD reports enrollment rise and strong attendance in early term
Summary
District staff reported enrollment has increased to about 1,930 students since the first day of school and average daily attendance for the year sits at about 95.46%, with some campuses reaching monthly rates above 96%.
District staff reported that enrollment has gone up since the first day of school to "about 1,930" students and that the district's year‑to‑date average daily attendance (ADA) is approximately 95.46%. Staff highlighted that some campuses are leading the district in attendance for the month, with a cited campus ADA of 97% for the month and a district monthly ADA near 96.44%.
Board members praised campus teams and staff for the attendance and engagement results. The report was provided as part of routine administrative reports in the board packet; no board action was required. The superintendent and central office staff framed the results as evidence of strong teacher and community engagement and flagged continuing supports such as a new teacher academy to sustain instructional gains.
Why it matters: Enrollment and ADA numbers drive state funding formulas and are a near‑term indicator of student engagement; higher ADA supports operational revenue and grants.
