Summary

Sierra Vista High School is a public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 3,149 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Sierra Vista High School has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Nevada high schools, with test scores generally below the state and district averages. However, the school performs better in English, with 55.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in the ACT English exam, compared to the state average of 47.6% and the district average of 48.8%. The school's graduation rate has remained relatively stable, ranging from 81.4% to 92.9% in recent years, on par with nearby schools like Odyssey Charter Schools 9-12 High School and Spring Valley High School. Unfortunately, Sierra Vista High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.6% to 33.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

One notable finding is that Sierra Vista High School has a very high percentage of students (nearly 100%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This is consistent across the nearby schools, suggesting that the broader community in this area faces significant socioeconomic challenges. The school's per-student spending has increased in recent years, reaching $8,894 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is on par with the nearby schools. However, Sierra Vista High School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 24.2 to 24.9 in recent years, higher than some of the nearby schools.
