Summary:
ZIP code 89118 in Las Vegas is served by a single middle school, Sawyer Grant Middle School, which enrolls about 1,149 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Clark County district. Because it is the only middle school in this ZIP code, there are no neighborhood peers to compare it against — the useful benchmarks are how it compares to its district and the state of Nevada, and how it has changed over time.
In 2025-2026, 27.7% of students met standards in math, 40.9% in reading, and 27.8% in science. Math and reading trail the district (33.8% and 43.3%) and the state (36.2% and 45.2%). Science appears stronger than both at the all-grade level, but that comparison is uneven because this school serves only grades 6-8 while district and state figures blend in 5th grade; measured against same-grade 8th graders, the school actually lags. The school gets stronger as students get older: 6th grade is behind peers in both math and reading, 7th grade reading is at district parity, and 8th grade beats both district and state in math and reading.
The school is improving. Math rose 5.3 points in a single year, from 22.4% to 27.7%, while reading (40.9%) and science (27.8%) barely moved. Its statewide ranking climbed from the 35th to the 43rd percentile over three years. Chronic absenteeism is 25.7% — better than the district (27.0%) but just above the state (25.5%), meaning roughly 1 in 4 students misses school regularly. All students fall in the highest poverty band for free/reduced lunch, though a flat 100% often reflects universal free meals district-wide. Per-student spending is $13,698 with an 18.5:1 student-teacher ratio (about 62 teachers). The school carries a 2-star rating even as its results rise, while the district earns 4 stars.
