Summary

Canyon View High is a public high school in Cedar City, Utah, serving 1,057 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Iron District, which is ranked 32 out of 93 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past several years, Canyon View High's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 38th out of 123 Utah high schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to 102nd out of 131 in 2021-2022 (1-star rating). The school's performance on key metrics like student group performance, graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores has been mixed. While Canyon View High is effectively supporting its low-income student population, it faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Parowan High and Launch High consistently outperform Canyon View High on various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Cedar City High, the largest high school in the Iron District, has a higher statewide ranking and better test scores than Canyon View High in most subject areas and grade levels. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools could be important areas of focus for Canyon View High to improve its overall outcomes and better serve its students.
