Do not bring your kids to this school, they do not prepare students for success. They just give them study guides so they can memorize and that’s how they get good grades. From the time my children entered 9th grade, I asked the counselors how to prepare them for the IB program because I wanted them to have the best chance at getting into a good college. Since I didn’t study in the U.S., I depended on the school’s guidance. Instead, I was misled.When I first asked, the counselor told me to wait a year. By the next year, I was told it was already too late. Later, they told me that the ACT wasn’t required, which is technically true for some colleges but if you want your child to have a real chance at highly selective or Ivy League-type schools, strong ACT/SAT scores are still very important. That guidance was never made clear.Meanwhile, both of my kids have 4.0 GPAs here, but when it came time for standardized testing, they were completely unprepared. My senior son tested very low in math, English, and reading. After paying for outside tutoring, his English scores improved, but in math he is still struggling because he doesn’t even have a solid foundation in algebra. That should have been addressed long before his senior year, yet the school failed to provide the preparation he needed.Now I am spending a lot of money on private tutoring and outside academies just to make sure my children have a chance. For my daughter, I am already relying on an external program because I know I cannot depend on this school or its counselors to prepare her.Bottom line: if you want your children to be prepared for college admissions, especially competitive ones, do not rely on this school. The lack of proper guidance and academic foundation has been extremely frustrating and costly.

There is a lot of bullying among the students and some of the teacher are nice while others just be mean for no absolute reason at all. If you are in honors , especially in 8th grade the teachers get meaner and care about the smallest things more. At least in 7th grade the teachers understand you a more and are more friendly towards you.

I have had nothing but a wonderful time for my kids at canyon rim! We are on our third year, i now have 2 kids there. We loved miss tippets and were so sad to see her go, she knew every kids name, was so involved and everything you could have asked for in a teacher. Our TK teacher pours everything she has into her students and it’s such a wonderful learning environment for our little one. In kindergarten, there were some challenging students and eventually we were allotted a behavioral specialist for our class to ensure the classroom was safe for everyone to learn! Dr Norwood has also shown to be involved and hosted a coffee with parents to explain her style of leadership and what to expect in the new year. Office staff also offers support and has been wonderful through out process. You can volunteer to be involved in your child’s education and truly see what goes on in the classroom. The PTA raises money and pours back into the students, providing funded field trips, enriching programs like code campus and so much more! I would take the negative reviews with a grain of salt because some parents don’t hold their kids accountable and are expecting the teachers to discipline kids when they aren’t getting that at home.
