Attendance has improved substantially. Chronic absenteeism fell from 22.9% in 2021–2022 to 12.6% in 2024–2025, below both district and state rates and lower than most nearby comparison schools. The student-teacher ratio also improved, from 28.3 to 22.8, though it remains higher than at several nearby schools. Canyon Creek’s enrollment is about 17% larger than that of the next-largest traditional comparison school, Endeavour School, which may contribute to greater grade-level variation. Overall, Canyon Creek offers strong math, upper-grade science, and improving attendance, while families may want to look closely at fourth- and fifth-grade literacy support and how the school’s larger size affects consistency.
