“Canyon Vista is a middle school with high-potential students. However, the enthusiasm of the students at CaVMS is limited. Sometimes, these students don't really try to learn just for the love of learning, and most of the teachers are not very energetic. This school is above average, but not so much that they would be considered as a 'top-notch' high school.”

“Moved into the area because I heard good things about the school. I am a bit disappointed because I have seen a lot of rigidity and rules, combined with a lack of respect for students. Guess this is what happens when you teach to the TAKS tests, a flaw in all Texas public schools. The one exception is Band: all of the band instructors are very warm and the kids love them.”

“Canyon Vista MS might be a good school for typical school but it is a terrible school for students with special needs. We had suffered a great deal in trying to get especially the district/school admin to work with us. Eventually we had to leave because the district does not believe in students learn differently and can each have potential. It was a very painful experience. The only good experience we had while at CVMS was with the band. The band director was wonderful and had gone out his way to accommodate our student.”

“I remember my first days attending this outstanding middle school-I was simply blown away by the awesomness of the school. Not only does it have a high academic standard, but its Fine Arts division is very impressive and fun, and its exterior and interior are well cared for. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL! It cannot even be compared to Grisham or Cedar Valley Middle School!”

“Although we have been impressed with the teaching for the most part, it is enormously frustrating when the teachers use the 'team' approach to avoid discussing a student's progress in one particular class. Parents and that one teacher need to discuss and resolve any issues with the student involved. Not every teacher in the student's day needs to be involved in the discussion of that one class. Teachers hide behind others to avoid specifics. It is a great way to disguise disinterest or incompetence and it is used too often. A group evaluation is useless if there are issues in only one class. When so many students in that one class have those issues, questions are rasied yet the team approach deflects accountability from that one teacher involved.”

“Canyon Vista is a great school. The Band, and Choir are good and the Orchestra is Fantastic. Academically this school is one of the finest in Austin and is probably one of the best in RRISD.”
