Summary:
The Canyon Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. These schools are located in the cities of Canyon and Amarillo and offer a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Reeves-Hinger Elementary, Arden Road Elementary, and Hillside Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.
While the district as a whole performs well above the state average on STAAR assessments, there are significant disparities in performance between individual schools. The schools with the lowest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Crestview Elementary and Heritage Hills Elementary, tend to have the highest STAAR proficiency rates, while the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Lakeview Elementary and Sundown Lane Elementary, have lower proficiency rates.
The data also highlights the consistent high performance of Reeves-Hinger Elementary, Arden Road Elementary, and Hillside Elementary, which have maintained 4- or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past three years. In contrast, the lower-performing schools, such as Gene Howe Elementary, Lakeview Elementary, and Sundown Lane Elementary, may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address the factors contributing to their relatively lower academic achievement.
