Why on earth did this school's administration feel the need to rearrange class schedules after three weeks of school? I do not buy the statement that enrollment is up. I have heard that they wanted to create more Honors classes, which is fine, but to make the kids that are not involved with that still change their schedule.......nonsense. The first day of school is hard enough, let alone having to do it twice four weeks apart! This new administration is being questioned by a lot of parents right now.

This school is horrible! My child rarely has homework. She isn't learning much. She is constantly being sent to the office by the teacher for really ridiculous reasons. She's a GATE student, but she wasn't enrolled in any GATE classes! She is very unhappy at this school and I REFUSE to send her there next year for 8th grade!

Also the complaints of unsatisfactory special needs accomadtions. I am a P.E. class with 'special' students which I feel drag the rest of us down. I apologize for seeming harsh, but I feel that they are detrimental to the learning process for those of us who are average or advanced students. I know I must seem like a bigot, but I feel that 'special' students could have their own removed learning area, or school within the district. I apologize if I treaded on a few toes, but this is my own opinion from a current student.

Canyon Hills is on track. I wish that they had a foreign language program but I hear they are working on it. Some parents are uninformed about what it takes to prepare a child to be on the right track for college, that's why they complain about the homework load. When kids apply for college they are competing internationally so we as Americans need to prepare our children to meet high standards. To those who don't know, this may require a heavy homework load.

It's really funny how the reviews from students, like me, are about how much we love Canyon Hills, and from the parents are a different story. That is ridiculous! You guys have no idea. if you think that CHJH gives too much homework, that's stupid. We are in junior high, and we need to learn responsibilities. You can't just expect for us to get the same amount of homework as elementary, and then go into high school not prepared for the heavy workload. We only get 1 hour or so, not even that much on most days, which is pretty resonable. Canyon Hills is an awesome school :)

Interesting how the students seem to think very favorably about Canyon Hills Junior High school, while the parents don't. Probably says a lot about the parents...which isn't favorable. I had two children go through Canyon Hills and both excelled, with the help of teachers, administrators, and me!

As far as junior high schools go it's a good one if you have a motivated child that wants to learn. If you have a child that has a hard time organizing him or herself or requires any special attention watch out! The principal and vice principal are are accomidating and will do whatever they can within Chino Valley Unified school district limits. The breakdown in helping kidsthat have special needs such ADD, ADHD etc comes down to the district and most (not all) the teachers. From personal experiance, other 'Distinguished Schools' in other areas do a much better job of recognizing and working with these kinds of childen. I do not feel that Canyon Hills Junior doesn't care about the kids the do. I believe they do not have the tools and experiance to handle them properly. In the end with all the special meeting you will end up frusted.

I'm an 8th grade leadership student and this school means so much to me. We do so many activites. The teachers give homework so they can LEARN. All the teachers and great and a lot of them are there to help. I used to have one teacher for 3 classes before I got transferred but I still have her for two classes. My memories will last a lifetime!

BEST school ever! This school gave me one of the best years of my life. I met many people, and made life-long friends as well. The teachers are great (hence the high API that they have). They're fun, interactive, and made you WANT to learn (not messing with you). They may be a little strict, but later you realized that what they taught you was extremely valuable skills that will definitely benefit you later on in high school. This school is second to none.

Wow I LOVE this school to death! (I was a former student.) One of the best years of my school life came from this school. I met so many new people, and made life-long friends. The teachers are great! They're fun, interactive, and they actually made you WANT to learn. This school is second to none and made my 7-8th grade exciting.

This school is great! I don't know why there it some comments very low and disapproving. I know they give a lot of homework...but it teaches us great responsibility and more learning. Plus the dress code is fine...why do we need to wear tank tops..wait till high school but right now we need to respect each other! Test notes are great because they help us on our tests...I know parents might not approve but don't you want your child to get good grades? The teachers are awesome and the staff as well, they are not that strict, they are funny, and they teach great things! Trust me if you read this comment, because this comes from a former student!!!! :)

My experience at Canyon Hills was very fulfilling. There are a lot (or were a lot) of quality teachers who taught there, such as Mr. Booth, who was one of those inspirational teachers, and Mrs. Simon. There are also the PE teachers, all of which were good. Mrs Crow was my favorite history teacher, who had a wry sense of humor and made history easy to understand. Mrs. Wood, was an excellent English teacher. The study card IS a tool. By the time of the test, I didn't even have to use the card, since it was etched in my memory. It shows you how much taking notes in your own words really helps.

There are some good teachers but there are teachers that have been teaching a long time and don't belong teaching any longer. These teachers seem to be tired of teaching, no longer have the passion to teach and are now doing it for the paycheck. This school is driven by the annual state testing and how well the school does...that's it. They're not interested in real teaching. Many classes allow 'study cards' to be used during tests. Funny, we used to call these cheat sheets. What happened to studying for a test and using your memory to acheive the grade. Not cheat sheets. When I approached the Prinicpal last year she said it's a tool. This isn't teaching the kids skills for life. It's giving them the easy way out. It's cheating the kids and not showing what the teacher was or was not able to truly accomplish.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
