The 79118 zip code area is home to 8 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - Canyon Independent School District (ISD) and Amarillo Independent School District (ISD). While the schools in this area exhibit a wide range of performance, a few standouts emerge, including Randall High School with its impressive 97.2% graduation rate and strong STAAR exam results, as well as the highly-rated City View Elementary and Sundown Lane Elementary.

The data reveals stark contrasts in school performance, with some institutions like Randall High School and City View Elementary excelling on key metrics such as graduation rates and STAAR proficiency, while others like Lakeview Elementary and Youth Center of High Plains struggle. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities across the schools in this area.
