Summary

Sawyer Grant Middle School is a public middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,175 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Sawyer Grant Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada middle schools, with a 2-star rating in recent years.

The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18.1% to 31.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than state and district averages. Academically, Sawyer Grant Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district in SBAC/Mathematics, SBAC/Reading, and SBAC/Science proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (22.4%), Reading (40.7%), and Science (26.8%) were all lower than the state and district averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Special Education students struggling the most.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the same district, such as Hyde Park Middle School and Fertitta Victoria Middle School, Sawyer Grant Middle School generally underperforms, with significantly higher academic proficiency rates and better overall performance. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to its relatively poor academic performance. Addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of higher-performing nearby schools could help Sawyer Grant Middle School improve its overall performance and ranking within the state.
