Summary

Canyon Hills Junior High is a public school in Chino Hills serving 1,070 students in grades 7–8, in a community that includes several nearby middle schools. Its standout result: among five nearby schools serving only grades 7–8, Canyon Hills had the highest 2025–2026 proficiency in all three subjects—77% in English language arts (ELA), 68% in math and 65% in science.

Test results are well above state and district levels: Canyon Hills led California by 27 percentage points in ELA, 30 in math and 29 in science, and led Chino Valley Unified by 14, 17 and 20 points, respectively. Its math result is especially strong against schools of the same grade span: it was 34 points above their average, compared with 25 points in ELA and 31 in science. Eighth-grade math is a relative area to watch: proficiency was 63%, below Canyon Hills’ seventh-grade result of 74%, though still higher than at the five nearby schools serving grades 7–8. Two nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Chaparral Middle and South Pointe Middle, had higher all-grade results in all three subjects.

Math and science have improved notably since 2022–2023: math rose 7 percentage points and science 14, while ELA barely moved, from 76% to 77%. Canyon Hills’ lead over the state narrowed by 2 points in ELA but widened by 3 in math and 8 in science. SchoolDigger ranks the school 160th of 2,703 statewide, at the 94th percentile with five stars; it ranks third-highest among the 11 nearby schools in the comparison. Chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2025–2026, down 10 points since 2021–2022, compared with 14% districtwide and 18% statewide. A contrasting consideration is its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 26.7, about 5 higher than the nearby-school average. In 2024–2025, 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s separate statewide ranking for African American Students rose from the 55th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 97th in 2025–2026, indicating a much stronger relative showing in how well the school serves this group; its Multi-racial Students ranking was at the 64th percentile, compared with 94th overall.
