Summary:
In zip code 79015 (Canyon, TX), two middle-level schools—Canyon J H (grades 7-8) and Canyon Intermediate (grades 5-6)—serve 1,084 students within the highly rated Canyon Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 80th percentile statewide.
Canyon J H stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with 100% of Algebra I test-takers achieving proficiency in 2025-2026—far exceeding the district’s 64.36% and state’s 54.03%. Its 8th-grade math scores also dominate at 73.88% proficient, nearly 27 points above the state average. However, a notable 7th-grade math "dip" (26.21% proficient) suggests a challenging transitional year, though students rebound strongly by 8th grade. In contrast, Canyon Intermediate excels in broad-based consistency, outperforming both district and state averages in every core subject. Its 6th-grade math proficiency of 72.62% nearly doubles the state average of 38.57%, providing a strong foundation for the advanced coursework at Canyon J H.
Both schools operate efficiently, spending under $8,000 per student while achieving results well above Texas norms. Science is a relative weakness, though still above state averages—5th-grade science at Canyon Intermediate was 55.73% (vs. 29.57% state), and 8th-grade science at Canyon J H was 69.5% (vs. 46.25% state). The low free/reduced lunch rates (23.96% at Canyon J H, 28.17% at Canyon Intermediate) correlate with high performance, and the seamless feeder pattern between the two schools creates a pipeline of academic success. Overall, families in this area benefit from two strong, efficient schools that prepare students well for high school and beyond.
