About Silvestri

Silvestri is a comprehensive junior high serving the Silverado Ranch area. The school uses a Shark identity and serves grades 6–8.

The school offers core academics and electives that can change by year. Clubs, academic supports and middle-school athletics are also campus activities, but current offerings should be confirmed.

A STEAM education overview appears on the school website. This does not make Silvestri a district STEAM magnet or a school-wide STEAM academy. Ask how STEAM language connects to current courses and schedules.

How families get in

Silvestri is a zoned school. Admission is based on the student's home address, followed by standard CCSD enrollment.

Check the exact home address with the CCSD zoning lookup.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Silvestri is the assigned school.
Out-of-zone access, if offered, follows current School Choice rules and available capacity.
Silvestri is not listed as a district middle-school magnet.

Check before enrolling

Zone boundaries can place nearby streets in different schools.
School Choice does not guarantee an out-of-zone seat.
Confirm current zoning, capacity and enrollment rules with CCSD.

Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change. Use current CCSD and school information before making a decision.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Silvestri attendance zone and want a neighborhood junior high.
You plan to ask how the school's STEAM overview connects to an actual student schedule.
You prefer a local school over a magnet commute to Henderson or central Las Vegas.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment.
You assumed the STEAM overview meant admission through a district magnet lottery.
You want a full performing-arts magnet or an IB magnet-within-school.

School fit depends on current zoning, capacity, courses and student needs. Confirm live details with CCSD and the school.
