Middle Schools in Canton School District

The Canton School District in Connecticut is home to two high-performing middle schools, Canton Intermediate School (grades 4-6) and Canton Middle School (grades 7-8), both of which consistently outperform the state average in academic proficiency.

Both schools boast impressive test scores, with Canton Intermediate School's 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students scoring over 60% proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and Canton Middle School's 7th and 8th-grade students scoring above 50% proficient or better in the same subjects. Additionally, the schools' science proficiency rates also exceed the state average, with Canton Intermediate School's 5th-grade students scoring 68.8% proficient or better in 2023-2024.

While the student populations at both schools are predominantly White, they do exhibit some racial diversity, with notable percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Furthermore, the relatively low free and reduced lunch rates suggest that the schools serve a student population with a higher socioeconomic status compared to the state average. The high spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratios at both schools indicate that the Canton School District is allocating significant resources to support the education of its middle school students, which is reflected in their consistently strong academic performance.
