Canyon High School

Canyon High is a great school. However, they need a real track for track and field.

Canyon is a fantastic school as it offers a large number of IB and AP courses. My daughter has been in the honors program since 4th grade, and Canyon has done a great job in helping her maintain the level of education required to maintain a 4.9 GPA. A very high percentage of Canyon students are in the honors program, that Canyon has a separate 3-hour night for recognizing and awarding all honors students with 4.0 GPA or above. Canyon made it possible for my daugther to get accepted to the best schools like Standford, USC, UCLA, etc.

A true gem! This is the only Anaheim Hills high school, and is the crown jewel of this fine community. Great IB/AP program, respectful and involved student body, committed teachers. It is an all around winner and the educational experience at this school is comparable to private schools. It is truly an amazing place to learn. All parents should send their kids here with pride!

Terrific school! I pulled my kids out of Edison in Huntington Beach after threats to my kid, and I have been nothing but happy with my experiences with the school. The staff really motivates the students to be the best they can. And although the students are extremely wealthy, they arent showy and are well mannered. Everything about this school gets an A+!

This school is fantastic for technology. It not only has morning announcements that are produced by state of the art technicians, it features a game programming class that offers real challenges to students. It also offers an IB son course, which my son is enrolled in.

This school is spectacular! Their IB/AP program is terrific, location is upscale, nice campus, great tech-school, wonderful scores! This school has it all and is by far better than any school I have seen in most parts of the county.

My daughter is currently enrolled at Canyon High, going into her junior year. I can say without a doubt that this is an excellent school with an outstanding staff and caring teachers. Not only is this a California Distinguished School, but it's in the top 10% of all high schools in the state! You can't get any better than that, folks! My daughter absolutely loves it at Canyon, and is involved in sports as well as Red Cross and Key Club. If you are thinking about having your son(s)/daughter(s) attend Canyon, I highly recommend you do it!

I have four children who have or are currently enrolled at Canyon. I have two RSP children and 1 Honors child with one in the middle. The two ends of the spectrum have been taken care of pretty well but the 'average' student is lost in mediocrity. The teachers, unless brand new to teaching or just a real teacher like Ms. Ritter, are totally unconcerned with their students or their progress. Their teaching method or lack thereof is disappointing. School spirit is nonexistent. The cheerleaders show up for events and are so busy talking on their cell phone they have no time to cheer. Hope springs eternal with the introduction of a new principal-Mr. Bowden. On a final note, how permanent can a portable classroom really be and how safe after 15-20 years. They creak, moan and smell.
