Summary

Sawyer Grant Middle School is a Clark County School District middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 6–8 with 1,149 students. For 2025–26 it ranks 85th of 148 Nevada middle schools — 43rd percentile, 2 stars — slightly below the state median and below the broader standing of Clark County, which ranks 5th of 12 districts statewide. Its trend is encouraging: it climbed from 19th percentile (1 star) in 2020–21, improving every year since, but has not yet passed the state median or 2 stars.

Current test results are mixed. Math proficiency is 27.7% (district 33.8%, state 36.2%) and reading is 40.9% (district 43.3%, state 45.2%), both below district and state. Science looks stronger at 27.8% versus district 23.5% and state 25.5%, but 8th-grade science falls below district and state figures, so treat it as a cautious bright spot. Eighth grade outperforms district and state in math and reading, while 6th and 7th grades lag — the clearest academic targets. Chronic absenteeism is 25.7%, just above the state's 25.5% and below the district's 27.0%.

Among 10 nearby same-district middle schools, Sawyer Grant ranks 8th of 11 on overall rank and on all three subjects. It beats Garside Frank F Junior High School, Cashman James Middle School, and Lawrence Clifford J Junior High School, but trails Hyde Park Middle School, Tarkanian Lois & Jerry Middle School, and five others. Notably, it spends more per student ($13,698) and has a smaller student-teacher ratio (18.5) than most peers, yet posts lower results — so staffing and spending alone aren't the whole story. Attendance bears watching: chronic absenteeism fell from 42.3% in 2021–22 to 18.1% in 2024–25, then climbed back to 25.7% in 2025–26.
