Community Reviews
The school was great. But one thing that really bothered me are some of the teachers. Some of them wouldn’t teach and some of them had clear favorites. But most of the teachers were awesome and respected us. Fortunately, everyone was nice to each other and from my perspective there was no bullying.
Posted by a community member on 1/16/2026Good academic reviews if this school are based on student population not a reflection of the teaching or policies of the school. The student population is a very highly motivated academic population and would do well in any setting. Teachers that are actually engaged and care bout student learning a
Posted by a parent on 5/22/2025Canyon Vista has really gone down over the years. Student's (especially in 8th grade, such as myself) are made to feel like a burden to uninterested teachers, who complain about other students (anonymously, thank god) non-stop. They teach unenthusiastically for the most part, and make the material u

Posted by a student on 11/3/2023I tried posting a review onto google reviews but I guess the school administration or wtv didn't approve it, I am an 8th grader so this is my second to last day here. It's better than most schools I'm aware of, you just need good teachers that can actually help you memorize stuff and are forgiving.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCaraway is a hidden gem tucked away in the area. The other schools in the area have over double the students. You can not put a price on smaller class sizes and the environment of everyone knowing everyone. Caraway is a small and nurturing school. Academics are great but not too much pressure so the kids can still be kids (an issue friends from neighboring schools are having). They have chickens and goats that the kids help take care of. I cannot recommend enough.Parent Review1mo ago - Spicewood Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kid was having a hard time in his 1st grade class and his teacher excluded him from activities in class and had a meeting set up to tell us he needed to get tested for a mental illness because he was “below average”. When we contacted the school about this, they were extremely disrespectful and dismissive. After that they gave up on my kid. Teachers and staff are absolutely terrible at this school. My kid was not comfortable being in that class.Parent Review4mo ago - Laurel Mountain Elementary School
