Summary:
The city of Canton, New York is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The standout institution in the area appears to be H.C. Williams Senior High School, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in New York state and achieves exceptional test scores, with the majority of students scoring proficient or better on Regents exams across a wide range of subjects.
While the elementary school, F.S. Banford Elementary School, has strong math proficiency rates, the middle school, J.M. McKenney Middle School, has relatively lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts. This could be an area of focus for the Canton Central School District to identify and address any underlying issues or challenges at the middle school level. Additionally, the schools in the area have relatively high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 42.63% at the elementary school to 48.96% at the middle school, suggesting that the district may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance.
The data also reveals a significant difference in spending per student between the high school and middle school, with H.C. Williams Senior High School spending $15,534 per student and J.M. McKenney Middle School spending $9,010 per student. This may warrant further investigation to ensure that resources are being allocated effectively and efficiently across the district to meet the needs of all students.
