Ratings and data
Academic information
Bonaccord Elementary holds a Fraser Institute rating of 5.7/10, placing it at rank 543/1015 provincially. This rating indicates an average academic performance compared to other schools in British Columbia. The school serves a highly diverse population with approximately 48% English Language Learners (ELL), which influences standardized test scores. To address this, the school has implemented specific 'Learning By Design' goals for the 2024-2025 school year, shifting focus from general vocabulary development to mastering writing conventions (sentence structure, grammar, punctuation) to boost literacy rates. Historical data shows some students performing below provincial expectations, but the school is actively using data-driven interventions to close these gaps.

Editorial review summary
Parent and community feedback highlights Bonaccord as a vibrant, inclusive hub that embraces its multicultural identity (over 46 languages spoken). Internal surveys indicate strong parental support for the school's Social Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives, with 77% of parents noting their children use 'Zones of Regulation' emotional tools at home. However, surveys have also highlighted challenges, such as student sleep habits and stress levels among older students. Parents appreciate the 'STARS' character education program and the active Parent Advisory Committee (PAC). The school is seen as a welcoming place for new immigrants, though some families note the academic challenges inherent in a school with such a high density of English language learners.

- Unique STEM activities like Gravity Track and coding projects

Common concerns
- Academic rating (5.7/10) is average and indicates room for improvement

- Catchment area is densifying, potentially leading to larger class sizes
Who this school may fit
This school is an excellent choice for families who value a diverse, multicultural environment and social-emotional development over raw academic rankings. It is particularly well-suited for newcomers to Canada and students who thrive in hands-on, collaborative learning settings. Parents seeking a highly competitive, rigorous 'prep school' academic atmosphere might find the pace moderate, but those looking for a caring community that builds strong character and emotional resilience will find Bonaccord to be a supportive home.
