Canyon Middle

Summary:

Canyon Middle is a public middle school located in New Braunfels, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,175 students. The school is part of the Comal Independent School District, which is ranked 87th out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Canyon Middle's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school ranks highly for African American students, but its performance for English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status is particularly weak. Compared to nearby schools within the Comal ISD, such as Danville Middle, Mt. Valley Middle, and Church Hill Middle, Canyon Middle's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school's performance is stronger than some schools in other nearby districts, such as Miller Middle in the San Marcos CISD and Briesemeister Middle in the Seguin ISD.

To address the challenges at Canyon Middle, the school and district should consider implementing data-driven instructional strategies, providing additional academic support for struggling students, exploring ways to reduce the student-teacher ratio, and collaborating with nearby high-performing schools to share best practices. By addressing these areas, Canyon Middle can work towards improving its overall academic performance and providing a more equitable and enriching educational experience for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
