Summary

Mater Bonanza is a PK–8 charter school serving 1,113 students at 4760 East Bonanza Road in Las Vegas (89110), part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district. It is by far the largest school in its immediate neighborhood — roughly double the 434–603 students of the surrounding Clark County elementary schools — and the only PK–8 campus nearby, since every neighboring school serves PK–5 only. It reports 100% free/reduced lunch, matching every neighbor.

Academically, Mater Bonanza performs well above its neighbors. On 2025–26 SBAC tests, 46.2% of students were proficient in math and 48.9% in reading, clearing the state (36.2% and 45.2%) and beating the average of ten nearby schools by roughly 18 points in math and 13 points in reading. Only Heard Lomie G Elementary School comes close (47.5% math, 48.5% reading). Science lags at 19.1%, below the state's 25.5%. Attendance is the standout: chronic absenteeism has fallen to 9.0%, versus 17.2% in the charter district, 25.5% statewide, about 23.6% for neighbors, and 31.0% at nearby Futuro Academy Elementary, a school with a near-identical student profile 0.74 miles away.

Mater Bonanza has also been improving faster than anyone else nearby, rising from 298th of 388 Nevada schools (23rd percentile, 1 star) in 2018–19 to 85th of 376 (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26. Its weak spot is the middle grades: math proficiency slides from 74.1% in 4th grade to 17.8% in 8th, and reading from 61.6% to 34.9%, while grades 3–5 generally beat state and district averages. It achieves this with the lowest per-pupil spending in the cluster ($11,627) and the highest reported student–teacher ratio (39.0).
