Summary:
The city of Bonanza, Oregon is home to a single high school, Bonanza Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon high schools over the past few years, with a performance rating of just 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This indicates the school is performing below average compared to other schools in the Klamath County School District and the state of Oregon.
Bonanza Junior/Senior High School's academic achievement lags behind district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.2% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 60.4% for the district and 44.4% for the state. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are particularly low, with just 7.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, compared to 26.6% for the district and 20.3% for the state. The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 81.8%, which is lower than the state average.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges. Bonanza Junior/Senior High School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 75.39% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $24,599, which is higher than the state average, raising questions about how the school is allocating its resources. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for 2023-2024 was 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average, which is a concern that needs to be addressed.
