I love this school i go to this school i am in 5th grade and my teacher is the best she teaches us everything we need to know so we can acheive academic expeirience .I absoluley love this scholl.And so will you and your child.

We have nothing but amazing things to say about Canyon. This is out second year at this school and each day we are more and more thrilled. Initially I was worried about the no PTA but now that I have volunteered over a dozen times in my student's classroom and at school activities I have no worries at all. Last Friday night we attended the family block part which was like a family reunion. We had so much fun as a family and seeing everyone, it was a great event. Obviously everyone has different experiences but we have made our experience a great one by really being a part of Canyon.

Overall I would have to say Canyon is a good school but not great. The academics are much better than the public school my daughter attended before (even though they still use programs that other schools have gotten rid of because they are shown not to work) and they do offer a lot of fun activities for the students. However a large part of the staff is arrogant. I am not sure what it is that makes them feel like they have the right to be. The school does not support parent involvement in the day to day like I was used to and liked at public school (no PTA). While they offer lunch it is not what I want my daughter eating. There are very few if any healthy options and you have to purchase each item individually which adds up over time. None of these problems are enough for me to want to make my daughter leave her school and friends but I am not sure if I would choose this school again.

We LOVE this school. Our child has really blossomed both academically and socially since starting Kindergarten last August. The administration, faculty and staff are very caring, the curriculum is outstanding, and the school provides a nurturing environment for the students to learn and also interact as a family. And while they have a rigorous curriculum, they make sure the students have a 'break' often, and plan a lot of fun activities throughout the year. We can't say enough good things about CPA & are very grateful we found this school.

I love being at this school. It is a wonderful environment where the students are excited to be there and everyone works together as a family. The earlier reviewer was correct on one thing, ask the kids and they will tell you the truth. Canyon is the best place I have ever worked!!

I have found all the teachers and office staff to be very friendly at Canyon. The students seem happy and I recently attended an event at the school and was very impressed by how Mrs. Rhone communicates with the students. It seems like she has a great rapport with them. I also appreciate the teachers holding the students responsible for themselves, I have a second grader who I feel is more responsible then several of my friend's children of the same age (or older), and I feel we have CPA to thank for that. Another huge plus is CPA offers after school sports and that is rare in an elementary school. I am looking forward to my son being in 4th grade so he can join in the fun. I can't help but wonder if the negative reviews on here are from parents of some of the troublemakers. As a parent of a child who is generally well behaved, I would not say the discipline is over the top. Whenever my son has gotten in trouble for something, I have always felt the consequences were fair. I would not want the disruptive few to interfere with my child's education so I appreciate the teachers and principal not allowing that to happen. Overall, very happy with Canyon Pointe!

GREAT FOR K-4, BUT FOR 5TH AND 6TH.. TOTALLY AWEFUL.. Adademically, its very good and the teachers are great, but for the 5th and 6 graders the administation has fostered an environment of hate. I totally agree with the other parent, that this administration is very clicky and snobbish. But, I will take it even further, they extend this not just to the parents, but to the students as well. In the 5th and 6th Grades, there are two warring factions. The principals pets (about 20 of them) and those that hate the principal. My advice to you, if you have a child in these grades is to ask, not one or two or three of the students... ask as many as you can. Find out the true story of the school and then look at your child. Decide for yourselves if your student is one that will be able to get an admittedly GREAT academic education during this year, or whether they would be with the 90% whose education suffers because they get caught up in the principals power trip.

While there are some great teachers at CPA, the over the top discipline and the principal have caused us to remove our children from the school.

Canyon Pointe Academy does everything they can to make sure every child feels like they are part of "The Family." It is a community that has come along way and is still continuing to grow. The teachers go above and beyond compared to any other public or private school. The administration do their best and are there to help. They do get busy but that is due to the fact that some parents do not educate themselves with other forms of communication or check the website. There are activities offered for everyone. They offer a hot lunch that is priced fairly and snacks that are what you would generally see in a lunch box. It's up to you what your child gets. My daughter loves this school and so do I.
