Canyon Pointe is an outstanding school! The care and concern for students starts with administration and goes throughout the school from the teachers to the counselor to the supportive staff. We have 2 children at the school, each with different needs and the school goes above and beyond to provide our children what is best for their learning. The administration has an open door policy and are easy to communicate with and they act when there's a need. I'm a teacher at a different elementary school and will not remove my children from Canyon Pointe because they are best served where they are, within their own school! You won't find a better elementary school than Canyon Pointe!

My daughter has attended Canyon Pointe Elementary School since it opened. She loves going to school here. The Principal and administration do a great job of keeping parents informed and involved. We look forward to my daughter starting the Third Grade this fall.

We are new parents to CPES and so far my Kindergartner and the rest of our family LOVE CPES! =) Only in it's 3rd year and already an Exemplary school in TX - way to go! There is only one way to do that! Have great teachers that really love to teacher and genuinely care about their kids, supportive administration who get to know each of their students within their building and help their staff with their needs, and fantastic parents that help make their school great! Way to Go CPES!!! I'm glad we're here!

The best thing about CPES is the faculty, staff, and PTO! They all work together to give the children the best experiences possible!

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
