Sunrise Mountain High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Nevada high schools, with a ranking of 92 out of 97 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 8.2% of students proficient or better in the EOC Science Exam, compared to 20.2% statewide and 19.6% in Clark County. Similarly, only 6.5% of Sunrise Mountain students were proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, compared to 19.4% statewide and 19% in Clark County.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Clark County School District, such as East Career and Technical Academy High School and Las Vegas High School, generally outperform Sunrise Mountain High School on academic metrics, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Sunrise Mountain High School to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts within the same district. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, may be a contributing factor to its overall academic underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
