Summary

Mint Canyon Community Elementary serves 472 students in grades K–6 in Canyon Country, California, near nine other K–6 schools. Its 2025–26 results were below the state and district in English language arts (ELA), math and science, and below the nearby-school average in all three subjects. The clearest concern is ELA: Mint was last among the 10 nearby schools, with 40% proficient compared with a nearby average of 51%.

Math is Mint’s strongest subject relative to the state, but it still trails most nearby schools: 37% were proficient, versus 38% statewide, 42% in the Sulphur Springs Union district and a nearby average of 46%; Mint ranked third-lowest locally. Science was 32%, below the state at 36%, the district at 36% and the nearby average of 40%, making Mint second-lowest nearby. Third grade stands out as a particular weakness: 25% were proficient in ELA and 35% in math, below every nearby school in both subjects. Overall, ELA is furthest behind the state and district, while math is closest to the state benchmark.

Results show mixed movement over time: ELA fell 5 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26 as the state rose 3 points, widening Mint’s gap to the state by 7 points; science, by contrast, rose 13 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing also declined, from the 58th percentile in 2023–24 to the 48th in 2025–26, when it received 2 stars; the nearby average was the 63rd percentile. Mint’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 23.6, below the nearby average of 25.4. SchoolDigger’s group rankings showed a relative strength for English Language Learner Students: the school ranked at the 82nd percentile for serving this group in 2023–24, versus the 58th overall. For Military Connected Students, its 2024–25 ranking was lower, at the 24th percentile versus the 52nd overall.
