First of all, I have had problems with some of the teachers and principals. Also, with now being a high schooler, I realize how much I dont miss Canyon Ridge. The only reason why I gave it 3 stars is because it is a clean campus with challenging classes. and with all of the strict rules, I like to call it Canyon Ridge Military School. OH, and now that it is a huge middle school, the one-on-one thing with small classes doesn't happen to much anymore. however i will say that i had a great time participating in basketball.

Best middle school in Texas! Probably one of the best public middle schools in the US. Great principal, fantastic teachers, wonderful students and superb parent involvement.

This is a truly wonderful school with a great principal, great teachers and great students. Last year we moved here from Louisiana with our then twelve year old autistic son. He was learning virtually nothing in LA. initially, he was placed in an ICAP class and mainstreamed in history and science. He competed and won in The State Science Fair and now he is mainstreamed and doing well in all of his academic classes. CRMS is what all public schools should strive to emulate.

I am a student at Canyon Ridge and I am so happy here. I feel at home and even though it has many students the classes are somewhat small and each and every one of us gets individual attention. I'm challenged but, I feel like this is what makes me want to pursuit excellence. I am always involved with extra curricular activities and the theatre department is extra great. The teacher is amazing and has put on three UIL one act plays that have all placed top three. If you are looking for a great school stop looking because you've found it a Clean campus, great teachers/staff, good kids, and loads of eagle pride.

Canyon Ridge Middle School is a magnificent school. The school has wonderful teachers who truly care about each child individually. The teachers are greatly educated and many have won awards such as the silver apple award. I feel safe and at ease at this school but is challenged and learn new things everyday. The elective department is incredible with great theatre, choir, and band classes availible.The gifted and talented program has the best teachers and resources you'll ever find in a public middle school. This school sets the standard at which all schools should follow. I am more than satisfied with tthis school. In my opinion this middle school is truly excemplary!
