I went here for four years. They care a lot about their students, from health to their opinions on the school, and what they love to add, such as classes, or necessities. Teachers here are amazing, from the teachers I got they were all super friendly.

Everyone I have encountered at this school from the front office, teachers, coaches and kids have positive attitudes and you can tell they care about their students and school

The cheer coach Mona Doyle doesnt know what she is doing. Constantly changing schedules and requesting more fees.

I am an upcoming senior in high school, in the past three years I was in clubs, sport, CTE , honor programs and the AP programs. The reason i gave this school a 5 is because i actually learned the things I need to learn throughout high school. In my freshman year, I joined swim team. Although I started out as an amateur in swim, but my coaches were actually encouraged and helped me to learn new strokes. All three years I did key club and DECA; these two clubs have provided me a strong character and nevertheless leadership. Lastly I have involved with challenging AP courses including: AP world history, AP language and Composition, AP biology, AP US History. Those classes actually gave me excellent knowledge and skills toward college. Especially the teachers became my friends as well as mentors. I knew I will completely changed after four years of high school; that wouldn't be what parents want their children to be? That wouldn't be what students want themselves to be? One of the advise i can give you would be "actively pursuit whatever subject you love in high school, because knowledge is power."

Bonanza actually isn't really that bad, better than some of the other schools in Clark County.

Bonanza is an okay school. The Deans at Bonanza have favorites and its completely wrong. I've had constant problems with some staff grading me harder than other students because of my sexuality. The ccsd rules are hardly enforced except for dress code. The theatre program there is one of the best in ccsd. The JROTC program is just atrocious the teachers are very judgmental, the things they make us do, etc. All the English teachers I've had have been absolutely fabulous, but the math teacher have been undeniably horrible. I have learned nothing in any of the math classes I've been in that i don't already know. The teaching methods are extremely stupid and they act like we are mental and have no clue what they are talking about. The principal also has favorites and refuses to do stuff for some clubs because she is against what they do. The students are racist, homophobic, gang members, and drug abusers. I would never send my kid to Bonanza. Overall the school is terrible, with a few exceptions, I hate it here, I would rather pay for private school rather than send my kid here.

I am a former student. There are very few things I liked about my time at Bonanza High School. Most of the teachers were rude and didn't care about anything the kids learned or how they acted. Most classes, you would sit there and do nothing because the teacher "didn't feel like doing a big assignment that day." Also, most students were rowdy, distracting, and inappropriate. Any time you would try to go to an adult about bullying or anything like that, they would basically tell you to your face that they didn't care and they wouldn't do anything about it. Honestly, although there are a few great teachers, Bonanza just doesn't have a good learning environment.

Horrible, all of my teachers are rude. They yell at me for the most minuscule of things. I cannot walk around without being confronted with something that is wrong. Everyone at this school is inconsiderate and just plain rude.

If you try really really hard in your average joe classes, and are lucky to get a caring teacher, you should get a decent grade. (this excludes all you honors & A.P. ) I'm a current student here and I can honestly say academic success along with actual learning here is out of luck. It's hard to get a good teacher. Most these teachers tell you to read your textbook or red the board for information on your assignment. My fellow classmates and I simply do not learn that way. What kind of classroom atmosphere do you expect when you got 40 kids who are frustrated, confused, and uninterested in learning? These kids have the potential to be very successful, (I know, I've seen their true colors) we just need more involved teachers. Teachers and staff who care, rather than just sending detention and court dates would be a blessing for these lost kids. It's not easy being a minority teenager. (which by the way, is most this school now) I get more learning done with a fellow classmate than with the actual teacher.
