Summary

Silvestri Charles Junior High School is a middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving roughly 1,076 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Clark County school district, located on Silverado Ranch Boulevard in the southern part of the valley.

By state rankings, Silvestri sits near the bottom of Nevada middle schools: in 2025-2026 it ranked 101st of 148 (32nd percentile, 2 stars), a long slide from 41st of 114 (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2017-2018, with several 1-star years in between. Nearby schools perform much better — Coral Academy Windmill ranked 4th of 148, Miller Bob 22nd, Gunderson Barry and June 24th, Webb Del E 29th, and White Thurman 32nd. Only Cannon Helen C (139th of 148) ranked lower. Test results follow the same pattern: math proficiency is 19.2% versus 33.8% district and 36.2% state, and reading is 36.7% versus 43.3% and 45.2%. Science is a mixed picture — Silvestri's all-grade rate of 26.2% edges above district and state all-grade rates, but its 8th-grade science rate of 26.2% trails the district's 31.0% and the state's 33.4% for that grade.

Chronic absenteeism is a real concern: 29.5% in 2025-2026, above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, and second-highest among nearby schools — though it had improved to 22.8% in 2024-2025 before rising again. Interestingly, the school has relatively favorable resources, spending $13,632 per student (more than most neighbors) with a student-teacher ratio of 19.2, among the lowest nearby. Yet achievement still trails schools that spend less, suggesting attendance, math instruction, 8th-grade science, and classroom support may be the more decisive levers for improvement.
