Summary:
The 44702 zip code area of Canton, Ohio is home to a single elementary school, Canton College Preparatory School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. This school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past three years.
Canton College Preparatory School faces several challenges, including a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, a high chronic absenteeism rate of 56.4%, and significantly below-average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate is just 20.4%, compared to the state average of 64%. The school's per-student spending of $7,546 is also below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 23.7 is slightly higher than the state norm.
Despite these obstacles, the data suggests that targeted interventions and additional support could help improve the school's performance and provide a better educational experience for its students. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, allocating more resources to the school, and implementing strategies to better serve the unique needs of the student population may be necessary steps to help Canton College Preparatory School achieve greater academic success.
