Summary:
The 63435 zip code area is home to two schools - Canton Elementary and Canton High, both part of the Canton R-V school district. While Canton High has a 3-star rating and performs above the state average in some subjects, both schools show significant performance disparities across grade levels and subject areas, suggesting a need for closer examination of curriculum, teaching methods, and resource allocation.
Canton High School ranks 118 out of 352 Missouri high schools and earns a 3-star rating, performing above the state average in 8th grade science and Biology I end-of-course exams. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with only 20.4% of 7th graders and 21.8% of Algebra I students scoring proficient or better, well below the state averages. In contrast, Canton Elementary ranks 572 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and earns a 2-star rating, performing above the state average in 4th grade mathematics but struggling in 5th and 6th grade mathematics.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with Canton Elementary having a slightly higher percentage of students identifying as two or more races. Canton Elementary also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged population. The higher spending per student at Canton High compared to Canton Elementary may indicate a difference in resource allocation, which could be an area for further investigation.
