Summary

Sunrise Mountain High School is a large public high school in the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, NV, serving grades 9–12 to roughly 2,470 students in a high-need community where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school ranks near the bottom of Nevada high schools — 97th of 105 in 2025–26 — and this is not a one-year dip; it has generally sat in the bottom 1–13th percentile, with 0 stars in most recent years. Test proficiency is far below district and state levels: only 5.3% of 11th graders met ACT Math standards, versus 22.3% in the district and 22.6% statewide; ACT English was 25.1% versus about 51% for both; and Science End of Course was 14.5% versus 27.0% and 26.5%. ACT Math is the sharpest weakness. By contrast, the graduation rate of 93.5% in 2024–25 is above the district (86.6%) and state (85.4%) — students are completing high school at high rates, but many are not demonstrating college- or career-ready proficiency on these assessments.

Chronic absenteeism, at 38.0% in 2025–26, runs about 11 points above the district and 12.5 points above the state, though it has fallen sharply from 63.3% in 2022–23. Nearby large high schools face similar patterns: Las Vegas High School posts a 94.2% graduation rate but just 5.7% ACT Math, and Desert Pines High School reports 7.3% ACT Math with 43.7% absenteeism. East Career and Technical Academy High School stands out with 22.2% ACT Math, 59.0% ACT English, and 19.4% absenteeism at similar spending. Sunrise Mountain spends $11,772 per student — more than Las Vegas High and close to East CTA — with a student-teacher ratio of 21.4, so funding and staffing levels alone do not explain the outcome gap. Its statewide effectiveness rankings for low-income students (64th of 64) and Hispanic students (61st of 65) are among the lowest in Nevada.
