Q: Is Mater Bonanza a good school?

Mater Bonanza ranks 192 nd of 377 Nevada elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mater Bonanza is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a student population of 1,081. The school is part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is ranked 2 out of 13 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mater Bonanza is part of a higher-performing district, its academic performance, as measured by test scores and school rankings, lags behind many of the nearby Clark County public schools. Mater Bonanza's math and reading proficiency rates are consistently lower than the state sponsored charter school and Nevada averages, and its science proficiency rates are particularly low, ranging from 8.9% to 35.8% across grade levels. The school's statewide ranking among Nevada elementary schools has fluctuated between 161 and 298 over the past few years, with a current ranking of 192 out of 377 schools. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5, currently at 2 stars.

Mater Bonanza faces additional challenges, including a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 36.9 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the nearby Clark County schools, which have ratios ranging from 14.6 to 19.5. The school's spending per student has also been lower than the spending levels of the nearby Clark County schools. While Mater Bonanza and the nearby Futuro Academy Elementary perform similarly, the higher-performing schools in the area, such as Heard Lomie G Elementary and Diaz Ruben P Elementary, have stronger academic outcomes and lower student-teacher ratios.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
