Bonillas Elementary faces challenges in overall academic performance, with consistently lower standardized test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Tucson Unified District and Arizona state averages. However, the school performs relatively better in Science, with 33% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025 compared to 24% for the district.

The students here at Bonillas are kind, respectful, and responsible. When we asked a 5th grader today, "what would you take away from being a student here at Bonillas", and she said "to believe in herself". That was a really powerful moment and we are so proud of all of the students at Bonillas! Close Quote

Bonillas is a good school with excellent foundation grades (K-1). We are in the process of changing and updating our program to better meet the needs of our students, and as with any change, there are growing pains. Regardless of other circumstances, our staff is dedicated to our students and families and making sure our students received the best education possible. Close Quote

Bonillas is a great school. The teachers and principal are exceptional and do what is best for students everyday. I moved my students to this school after being another TUSD school and couldn't be happier. My kids are progressing and they feel welcomed here. The principal is very approachable and takes concerns seriously and does what she can to remedy situations and communicate with parents. Close Quote
