Canyon View Elementary School

Posted November 3, 2009

I have been so pleased with the teachers my daughter has had at Canyon View. The teaching materials and style is wonderful. The teachers make learning fun for the kids. I can't say enough about the teachers. What I love is how the teachers end up being a friend to the parent. The open door communication makes it wonderful to have a casual conversation with the teacher. There is no way we are moving out of our area because this school is the best. No private school can match up with Canyon View! Both my husband and I attended private schools. And let me just say we are so impressed at the teaching styles, materials, and everything at Canyon View!!! Two thumbs up!!!

This 3rd grade has been our first year at Canyon View and after struggeling for so long with our son, we finally found the right place. He has made tremendous progress in just one year that I am still stunned. From the beginning both of our kids felt right at home and were welcomed by their teachers, who are fantastic, and by the other staff members. The principle is a nice and caring person and will do anything to make new parents feel at ease. Our boy is placed in a special education program and has moved from a C-D grade student to an A student in just one school year ... fantastic work. Like to thank everyone involved with his program right here!

I have 2 kids at CV. This school has amazing parental involvement and great teachers for the most part. I find some of the teachers more difficult to work with - forgetting that they are dealing with very young children and not nurturing. But for the most part the teachers are dedicated and truly awesome. The only thing about CV that I find unsatisfactory is the new principal, Dr. Kemp. Unlike her predecessor, Mrs. Holmes, Dr. Kemp is not engaged with the kids, not visible, and most problematically, unresponsive to parents. She is not like a typical elementary principal where warmth and responsiveness are the predominant and valued characteristics. DIsinterested bureaucrat comes to mind when I think of the current leadership at CV. It's a shame for such an awesome school.

Canyonview is an amazing school!! It is like having the privilege of a private education in a public venue. We have 3 girls and 2 of them attend Canyonview with the 3rd attending in just a few short years. The calibur of teacher, administration and support staff is unsurpassed in my book. The parent and PTA involvement make all things possible during the intense budget cuts the state's education system is undergoing. Canyonview is a top performing school and we are thrilled to be part of such a great academic institution
