Data showed that Canyon ISD schools welcomed 11,075 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 2.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Canyon ISD roughly covers schools within Randall County and has a main office in Canyon.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
