Canyon Rim Elementary School

My children have been at this school for five years now and it's fantastic. The teachers all go above and beyond requirements and care deeply for their students. The students themselves are high calibre. Every day my children come home excited about that day's activities and are more than happy to attend. I would highly recommend this school.

My daughter is a first grader at Canyon Rim Elementary and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience that we have had at the school so far. The school's focus on children extends beyond the classroom with general academics and into additional life-enriching activities including the arts and music programs. In addition, there are many activities focused on bringing families together, including the school carnival, family fun night bingo, tile night, movie night and more.

we recently moved out of the area, but this school was terrific. My kids loved the teachers they had, and the community overall is wonderful. The school offers alot for families to do together, and the staff is outstanding- truly a great school.

Canyon Rim is a good school. Great teachers and great ambience. The school is clean and maintained to high standards. Communication however is terrible. For parents whose first child is progressing through school it is extremely difficult to figure out what comes next. Communication for the testing programs are especially hush-hush and you don't know what the students are being tested for and why. There is not a lot of openneess on how the GATE program is being run for example and why some students get in and why some do not. Overall great teachers, great staff including an awesome librarian, great students, but lousy management and parent communication

Canyon Rim was a terrific elementary school. Students were well mannered, staff was interested and engaging, and the students participated in terrific programs, feild trips, assemblies, etc. They truely came first at this school. The staff and principal went above and beyond to make this school as great as it is, and it shows in the strong API score, satisfaction in the students, and the quality of the campus. Parents were extremely involved, one of the best group of parents and PTA I have encountered.

Canyon Rim is a great school. Most of the teachers (97%) are very good. We've been very pleased with our child's progress here. Very impressed with the principal's ability to include cultural programs for the kids (art masters, music). With any school, it's what you, yourself, put into it and there is alot of quality parent involvement here. We don't mind donating supplies, it's for the good of our kids, not a 100% government handout.

We like this school, the teacher are wonderful. They have a great learning system for the kids. They make it easy for the children to learn. We could use some art and music classes. The principle seems to be on top of things. It seems like it is not a big turn around for the teachers here, which is great. We love the year round school . It gives the kids a rest, makes them ready to go back to school.

It is a good school, teachers are very structured, alot of parents help out in the class rooms.The teachers always try to get a parent in the room every day. Clean, nice area and safe enviroment, they try to raise money for our short funding, so we can still have music, since our new governer took it away. The teacher always try to keep the kids learning in a fun way, not many field trips ,but that is ok. No sports but i guess the kids are to young for that there ,big play area for kids and a little area for the kindergardens, so thats good. All over i would give this school a high rating, just wish we had more of a language program here , and art room, and music room like i had growing up. Like it that it is year round,

Good school, when it comes to learning and structure. But looks for too much money for things 'I don t think are of great importance'. Things like putting up fences that should have been done before the school even opened in 1997, and raising money for a 'P.E. Instructional Assistant'. Hello! I think the teachers are completely capable of instructing P.E. without an Assistant! They should be putting the money into thing like the music program, paper and printer cartridges! (Since they need to be donated as well).
