Summary

In Tucson, Canyon View Elementary School serves 394 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade and is part of the Catalina Foothills Unified District. Its latest results show strong proficiency in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math: 67% in ELA and 63% in math, compared with Arizona averages of 41% and 33%. The most important takeaway is that Canyon View is well above state results in both subjects, even though its local standing is more mixed.

Compared with the district, Canyon View’s math result is 2 percentage points higher, while its ELA result is 4 points lower. Among nearby schools, it is fourth-highest in both subjects and above the nearby averages of 49% in ELA and 44% in math. But it trails the two strongest nearby district peers: Ventana Vista Elementary School and Sunrise Drive Elementary School. Canyon View’s ELA is 5 points below Ventana Vista and 12 below Sunrise Drive; its math is 7 and 5 points lower, respectively. Grade results vary: fourth-grade ELA is strong at 80%, while third-grade ELA is 54%, 18 points below the district. Fifth-grade science remains a strength at 65%—31 points above Arizona and 16 points above the nearby-school average—but is below the nearby results at Ventana Vista and Sunrise Drive.

Fifth-grade science has declined for three years, from 73% in 2022–23 to 65% in 2024–25, while the state result stayed at 34%. SchoolDigger ranks Canyon View 114th of 900 Arizona schools, at the 87th percentile with 4 stars for 2025–26; it is behind nearby Sunrise Drive and Ventana Vista and tied with Fruchthendler Elementary School. Its overall percentile fell from 90th to 81st, then recovered to 87th. The student–teacher ratio is 14.8, close to the nearby average of 14.5; its 2022–23 free/reduced-lunch rate was 17%, but comparable nearby figures are unavailable. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for students with low socioeconomic status rose sharply, from the 21st percentile in 2021–22 to the 91st in 2022–23, while its ranking for special education students fell from the 67th percentile in 2020–21 to the 35th in 2022–23.

Canyon View Elementary is a fantastic school. My children have truly grown as students under the leadership of the teachers and principal. Great programs are offered by the community schools and PTA. Close Quote
