Canton School District

The Canton School District is home to four high-performing schools, including one elementary school, two middle schools, and one high school. The district is known for its academic excellence, with several standout institutions that consistently rank among the best in Connecticut.

The Cherry Brook Primary School is a standout elementary school, consistently ranked among the top in the state and outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd-grade students. Meanwhile, the Canton High School is a top-ranked high school, significantly outperforming the district and state averages in SAT English Language Arts, SAT Math, and NGSS Science for 11th-grade students.

Across the district, the schools maintain strong academic performance, with the Canton Intermediate School and Canton Middle School also outperforming the district and state averages in SBAC English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district's schools have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students, and they allocate significant resources to their schools, with higher spending per student at the high school level and relatively small class sizes.
