GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Our science, music, and math departments are incredibly strong in my opinion. It is easy for students to take classes that fit their level. I would like to see more women represented in administration, as there have been some obstacles to making change happen at the school because of some of our administration. I think we have accessible sports programs. I wish our school was more inspired to be creative and their was more color.

Canton is nice town but school administration depts. have issues that are swept under the rug and ignored as it pertains to minorities, especially in the upper levels. The elementary schools are a great choice.

Good atmosphere and so many opportunities to do. From sports to classes to clubs. All the teachers are willing to help the students even if you don’t have that teacher.
