Canton College Preparatory School

Summary:

Canton College Preparatory School is a public charter elementary school serving 380 students in grades K-8 in Canton, Ohio. The school is part of the Canton City school district, which is ranked 669 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Canton College Preparatory School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.7% in 2019-2020 to 74.6% in 2020-2021. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is also significantly below state and local averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 20.4%, compared to the state average of 64%. When analyzing performance by student subgroups, the school ranks in the bottom 40% of Ohio elementary schools for female students, male students, and students with low socioeconomic status.

Compared to nearby elementary schools in the Canton City district, such as Cedar Elementary School and Worley Elementary School, Canton College Preparatory School generally performs worse academically and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges facing the school are not unique to the charter school model, but rather systemic issues within the broader educational landscape of the area.

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.
