Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High

Summary:

Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Canton, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 137 students. Unfortunately, this school has been struggling academically, consistently underperforming the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.63% of 10th-grade students at Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 27.57%. The school's overall ELA proficiency rate for all grades is 17.14%, significantly lower than the state average of 33.55%. In Mathematics, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rate is only 4.54%, compared to the state average of 21.31%. This poor academic performance has led to a significant decline in the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, with the school now ranking 277 out of 318 Kansas high schools and receiving a 1-star rating.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Smoky Valley High, Hesston High, and Hillsboro Middle/High School, generally outperform Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High in academic metrics and statewide rankings. This may be due in part to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High, which stands at 34.31% in the 2022-2023 school year.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
