Summary

Sierra Vista High School is a large public comprehensive high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 with 3,255 students in 2025–2026 as part of the Clark County School District, in a high-need community where 100% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. It ranks 50th of 105 Nevada high schools — 52nd percentile with 3 stars — up from the 34th percentile and 2 stars in 2022–2023.

The school's clearest strengths are graduation and English. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 93.7% is above the district's 86.6% and the state's 85.4%, and ACT English proficiency of 56.0% in 2025–2026 exceeds the district's 51.2% and state's 50.8%. End-of-Course science proficiency of 29.8% is also above the district's 27.0% and state's 26.5%; 9th- and 10th-grade science results are suppressed in state data, so they are treated as unknown. Among nearby schools, Spring Valley High School outperforms Sierra Vista on rank, attendance, science, math and English, while Sierra Vista beats Durango High School on most current measures and edges Desert Oasis High School on rank, English and science, though Desert Oasis has higher graduation and lower absenteeism. Southwest Career & Technical Academy High School scores far higher but is a specialized career academy, not a like-for-like comparison.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest challenge: 37.4% in 2025–2026, above the district's 27.0% and state's 25.5%, although it improved dramatically from 49.8% in 2021–2022 before ticking up from 33.8% the prior year. Mathematics is the weakest academic area, with ACT Math proficiency of 20.2% below the district's 22.3% and state's 22.6%. Class sizes are large, with a student-teacher ratio of 24.4 versus 18.3 at Clark Educational W High School and 22.0 at Spring Valley, though per-student spending of $10,894 is in line with nearby comprehensive schools. Results for students from low-income families are relatively strong, ranking in the top half of comparable schools with 3 stars in each of the last three reported years.
