About Shadow Ridge

Shadow Ridge serves students assigned through the CCSD attendance zone. Families should check a specific street address because neighborhood names and real-estate materials are not reliable zoning sources.

The school offers a comprehensive schedule that includes college-prep coursework, CTE, arts, clubs and NIAA athletics. AP, dual-credit and pathway options should be confirmed in the current course catalog.

The school is often compared with Arbor View and Centennial when families consider northwest Las Vegas campuses. Boundaries, capacity and program offerings can change.

How families get in

Shadow Ridge is a zoned CCSD high school. Admission is based on the home address and current attendance boundaries.

Check the exact street address using the CCSD zoning lookup.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment for the assigned zoned school.
Out-of-zone enrollment or a zone variance, if offered, follows current district Choice rules and available capacity.

Check before making a housing decision

Northwest Las Vegas boundaries may be reviewed as new homes are built.
Re-check zoning for the exact address before closing on a home.
Out-of-zone access is not guaranteed.

Confirm current zoning, Choice eligibility and campus capacity on official CCSD pages.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Shadow Ridge zone and want a large northwest campus with academics, CTE, arts and athletics.
Your student wants AP or dual-credit options alongside a broad CTE menu without a magnet lottery.
You prefer neighborhood-school logistics over a hub-style magnet commute.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment or a variance.
Your student wants a full Career & Technical Academy magnet; compare Northwest CTA.
A large-school environment or possible crowding would be a poor fit.

Enrollment, capacity, boundaries and program availability can shift. Confirm current conditions with CCSD and ask about class size and pathway seats during a visit.
