Summary

Bonanza High School is a public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 2,025 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Bonanza High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada high schools over the past decade, with a current statewide ranking of 86 out of 103 schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bonanza High School faces significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and student engagement. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 14% of students proficient or better in the EOC Science Exam, compared to 23.1% statewide and 22.9% in the Clark County district. Similarly, only 7.8% of Bonanza's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, compared to 21% statewide and 20.7% in the district. Bonanza's four-year graduation rate has hovered around 81-84% in recent years, slightly below the state and district averages, and the school has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 47.7% in the 2024-2025 school year.

While Bonanza High School spends around $9,000 per student, which is comparable to the nearby Clark Educational W High School and Spring Valley High School, these schools perform significantly better on academic measures, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes at Bonanza. The school's proximity to the highly-ranked College of Southern Nevada High School West, a dual-enrollment program, could present an opportunity for Bonanza students to access more rigorous academic opportunities and support their transition to postsecondary education.
