Summary

Canyon Ridge High School in Twin Falls, ID, is one of two large comprehensive high schools in the Twin Falls District, serving about 1,445 students in grades 9–12 with a 3-star state rating that places it in the 61st percentile of Idaho high schools. The school has climbed from the bottom quintile of Idaho high schools a decade ago to a solidly middle/upper-middle position today, though it still trails its same-district counterpart, Twin Falls High School, which ranks at the 87th percentile with a 4-star rating.

Academically, the picture is mixed. English Language Arts is a clear strength, with 64% of students proficient on the 2024–2025 ISAT, well above the state average of 53.9%. Math, however, remains a persistent challenge, with only 32.6% proficient compared to 43.1% statewide. Science scores have been volatile, ranging from an impressive 50.1% proficiency in 2023–2024 to just 31.4% in 2024–2025. The reported graduation rate of 82.5% for 2024–2025 would mark a major improvement over prior years (which hovered around 72–73%), though the identical figures reported for the school, district, and state suggest the data should be interpreted cautiously.

Compared to nearby schools, Canyon Ridge outperforms Jerome High School in every subject and beats Kimberly High School in ELA and math, though Kimberly edges it out in science. Filer High School ranks just ahead at 41st statewide. One notable concern is attendance: nearly one in five students (19.6%) is chronically absent, well above the state rate of about 14% and higher than Twin Falls High School's 14.7%. The school also saw its free/reduced lunch rate jump from roughly 18% to 38.75% in 2024–2025, a significant shift in student economic circumstances that families may want to understand.
