GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My overall experience at Bonanza High School I would say was great, 8/10. There is a lot of teachers there that care about you and wanting you to succeed. Especially my 12 grade so English teacher. He was always comprehensive towards me because I'm a Spanish-speaker. He would guide me and help me with the subjects if I didn't understand. But an overall great school

Education was not properly valued, especially with furthering education. There was no dual enrollment for college credit despite being across the street from CSN. Teachers also rarely seemed to enjoy their job or even put in a lot of effort. My counselor also never encouraged me to reach beyond Las Vegas when it came to higher education even though my grades were very good and I was in the top of my graduating class.

Bonanza High School has an incredibly diverse community, as well as culture and tradition. The events are always a blast and the effort put into the events really shows. The admin are truly dedicated to the success of the students.
