Canyon Elementary School has shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 130 out of 337 Idaho elementary schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, a significant improvement from its 1-star rating in the 2009-2010 school year. The school's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, with 50.9% of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math and 56.1% proficient or better in ISAT/English Language Arts, compared to the district and state averages. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.0% to 29.5% in recent years, which is an area the school may want to focus on.

When compared to nearby schools, Dalton Elementary School and Sorensen Magnet School of the Arts and Humanities in the Coeur d'Alene District generally outperform Canyon Elementary School, with significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Canyon Elementary School's spending per student ($10,760 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance.
