In 2009 and 2010, Newsweek magazine named it one of the top 1,500 U.S. public high schools.
Canandaigua Academy follows a nine-period-per-day schedule, with each period lasting 42 minutes, with a 4-minute break in between. The school day begins at 7:35 am and ends at 2:24 pm.
Canandaigua Academy was founded in 1791 as a private boys' school. It became a public high school in 1900, but retained "Academy" in its name.
The current Canandaigua Academy is the fourth academy since its founding in 1791. The first was located on Saltonstall Street (the site no longer exists); the second was on Main Street, now Fort Hill Apartments; the third was on Granger Street, and is now Canandaigua Middle School. The current building was built in 1991, and suits the needs of all departments.
in 2007, a few additions and renovations were made. What is now known as the Hochstein area is the current music hallway, built in 2007, to host Hochstein classes, expanding that part closer to the bus loop. The field house was also built, which suited the needs of the Physical Education department.
In summer 2015, the boys' locker room was renovated for the 2015-2016 school year. The school began construction in 2016 on a new sports complex, due to be completed the summer of 2018. The plan will bring a new track, parking lot, bleachers, locker room, and concession stand facilities on the soccer field below the track. The school will also get turf fields, new tennis courts, and many repairs and fixes to schools in the district.
On March 14, 2006, President George W. Bush visited Canandaigua Academy to inform the public about Medicare.
