In 2019, Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School was a recipient of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative Award, which was dedicated to helping the school get a new sound system, lighting equipment, set construction tools and other workshop materials for the school drama program.

School is literally terrible. Has bad teachers, a bad reputation, bad everything. Do not go here. It's not worth it.
5/26/2021
Attending Bonnabel for three years was overall a good experience. The staff and teachers was very supportive but as high school experience and helping for college it was not as good. I never took a practice act, and there was not a push to improve act scores with classes. The clubs and activities were amazing ranging from cooking to band even theater.
