The students and community is amazing, but the teachers in this school target groups of kids regularly. Find school board meeting from December through May for the 2023-2024 year and you will see that even the leadership and board members won’t do anything to protect our kids in school. Sad.

My Grandson goes to this School and they seem to care about the students whole wellbeing ,and not just in academics damn Fabulous counselors that seem to care about the students in all areas they're willing to the extra step so that they are able to reach their potential with plenty of options the help along the way.. My Grandson is in the 11th grade and has been on their Football team as well as in their choir which she seems to enjoy very much

I graduated from Canby High in 2005. At the time I hated it but I was a teen and most don't care for school. Looking back, it is a good school with good, caring staff. The recent comments about staff not replying to her and teachers supposedly showing up to class 15 minutes late sounds a little far fetched to me. That is unless the staff is just annoyed with an parent who can't just talk to their kids about school instead of relying on the school to give daily progress reports. My class had over 400 students so expecting the staff to inform 1600 parents of their kids progress is a joke. Don't listen to this "parent". Canby High is a good school and good little town for a family.

Canby High School has been a great disappointment. There is no parent/teacher communication, kids are allowed to "make out" in the halls, if you call one of the school counselors, don't expect a call back for a couple of weeks. Teachers are allowed to show up to their own class fifteen minutes late. When you walk into the office there are always many staff members standing around talking. When you call the school nobody answers the phone! The list goes on and on. I am transferring my student to another school district as soon as possible.

This is a very poorly run school. no contact with parents when there is an issue. you as a parent are expected to call the teachers every week to see if your child is failing or not. the principal told me that "We do what the law requires of us and we do not have to do anything more than that." What kind of statement is that to make to a parent?
