Summary:
In zip code 79119 (Amarillo, TX), there is one middle school, Greenways Intermediate, which serves grades 5 and 6 and is part of the highly-rated Canyon Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 80th percentile in Texas.
Greenways Intermediate has 629 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.4:1. The school shows a clear pattern of academic strengths and one notable weakness. Reading is a consistent strength, with 6th-grade Reading proficiency (66.57% in 2025-2026) significantly outpacing the state average (53.52%) and even the district average (64.41%). Science is another standout area; 5th-grade Science proficiency (46.06% in 2024-2025) was dramatically higher than the state average (29.57%). However, the school faces a "5th to 6th Grade Math Cliff." While 5th-grade Math proficiency (59.93%) exceeds the district average, 6th-grade Math proficiency (47.16%) falls well below it (55.27%), representing a significant drop that suggests a challenge in the 6th-grade math curriculum or instruction.
With a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 33.55% and per-student spending of $7,881, the school achieves strong results in Reading and Science, indicating efficient resource use. The year-over-year decline in 6th-grade Math (from 52.9% to 47.16%) is a key area for concern, while the improvement in 6th-grade Reading (from 60.62% to 66.57%) highlights the school's literacy strength. Overall, Greenways Intermediate is a high-performing school with excellent literacy and science programs, but it needs to address a clear gap in 6th-grade math performance.
