Summary:
Zip code 89118 in Las Vegas has three public schools, all part of the Clark County school district: two elementary schools serving PK–5 and one middle school serving grades 6–8, with no high schools in the area. Combined enrollment is 2,234 students, and all three schools report 100% free/reduced lunch. The schools are Sawyer Grant Middle School (1,149 students), Jydstrup Helen Elementary School (563 students), and Earl Marion B Elementary School (522 students).
Jydstrup Helen Elementary School is the academic standout, with 50.0% of students proficient in math and 49.6% in reading in 2025–2026 — above both district and state averages in every tested grade level. It ranks 150th of 376 elementary schools (60th percentile, 3 stars) and improved from 2 stars the prior year. Its science results are a sharp exception: just 12.9% proficient, well below the district's 23.5% and the state's 25.5%. Earl Marion B Elementary School has the area's best attendance (15.9% chronic absenteeism), smallest classes (14.9 students per teacher), and highest spending ($15,555 per student), but ranks lower at 39th percentile and 2 stars, with math and reading below district and state. Sawyer Grant Middle School, the largest school, has improved its ranking each year and raised math proficiency by 5.3 points, though its overall math and reading still trail benchmarks and it has the highest absenteeism in the zip at 25.7%.
Across the zip, average chronic absenteeism is 21.0%, better than the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, while average math (36.4%) and reading (44.3%) sit near state levels. Science is inconsistent: Sawyer Grant Middle School's 27.8% is above district and state, Jydstrup's is far below, and Earl Marion B's 2025–2026 science score is suppressed by the state, so it cannot be evaluated in that subject. Because no high school is located in 89118, families seeking high school information would need to look elsewhere in the district.
