GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Canyon's pretty great the reason I give it 4 stars instead of one is because there are some particular teachers that are kinda weird unreasonable in the way they treat their students but other then them everything else is great.

I like that canyon middle school is changing for the better and adding new lockers, textbooks, and computers but I would like to see the staff paying more attention to the students more. an example is that every student has to meet with the counselor at least 2 times every year. Students there seem to be getting more and more irresponsible and reckless.

Fights, bullying and behavior issues are making for a chaotic and unwelcoming school environment. There may be a lot of student activities but my kid...

My kid says that he and his friends witness fights almost everyday in school. He faces incessant bullying everyday and there is nothing the staff or the school do, despite filing complaints. Kids need to know that their actions have repercussions which does not seem to be the case in this school. Th...
