Summary

Canyon High School is a large public high school in New Braunfels, TX, serving 2,414 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Comal Independent School District (Isd), with about a third of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Canyon High School is a solid, above-average school with a strong graduation rate consistently above 95%, but it faces a persistent challenge in Algebra I, where proficiency rates (44.6% in 2025-2026) are significantly lower than the district average (69.5%) and its main local competitor, New Braunfels High School (52.8%). This math gap is a multi-year weakness that stands out against its stronger performance in Biology, English, and U.S. History. While the school has a stable overall ranking in the 64th percentile, it has not regained its former 4-star status from a few years ago. Interestingly, the school achieves a 5-star rating for its Asian student population, but struggles significantly with English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 10% statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, Canyon is a middle-of-the-pack option. It is outperformed by New Braunfels High School in every tested subject, and the specialized Memorial Early College High School (97th percentile) likely draws some of the highest-achieving students from the area. Canyon spends $9,135 per student, which is less than Navarro High School ($10,940) but more than New Braunfels High School ($8,355), which achieves better results with lower spending. The school's ability to address its Algebra I gap and better support its English Language Learner population will be key to improving its overall performance.
