Summary

Field Elementary School in Canton, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving roughly 400 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly-rated Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district. The school currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking in the 57th percentile statewide, which places it as a solid, average-performing school within a district known for strong academics.

The most important thing for parents to know is that Field Elementary shows a striking pattern: students start strong in 3rd grade but experience a significant academic slide by 4th and 5th grade. In the most recent school year, 3rd graders outperformed the district average in both reading (60.3% proficient) and math (62% proficient). However, by 5th grade, only 25.8% of students were proficient in math—far below the district average of 47.6%—and just 33.3% were proficient in science versus the district's 56.1%. This "reverse trajectory" is unique among nearby schools like Dodson Elementary School and Hoben Elementary School, which typically show stable or improving scores across grade levels. Chronic absenteeism (20.9%) is also higher than the district average (19.3%) and may be a contributing factor to this decline.

There are some bright spots worth noting. Field Elementary earns a 4-star rating for its African American students, who rank in the 77th percentile statewide—a notable strength. Additionally, despite serving a higher percentage of students from low-income households (35% free/reduced lunch) than nearby Bentley Elementary School (20%), Field actually outperforms Bentley overall (57th vs. 44th percentile). However, the comparison with South Canton Scholars Charter Academy, located just two miles away, is stark: that school achieves 60.2% proficiency in 5th-grade math compared to Field's 25.8%, despite serving an even higher percentage of low-income students. For parents, this suggests Field excels in early grades and with specific student groups, but the upper-grade math and science scores warrant close attention and conversation with the school about intervention strategies.

The teachers are caring, compassionate and have great communication skills with parents. We get an email from the teacher every Sunday stating what they will be focusing on for the week ahead. My kindergartener loves going every single day and has already increased her reading level after only 4 months. The Principle takes pride in what she does, she is out there every day helping with drop-off and pick up and even eats lunch with the students sometimes. Very happy with Field Elementary.

I would give more stars if the teachers were actually caring, compassionate and had good communication skills with parents, but unfortunately kindergarten teachers at this school lack all of those capabilities, and don't seem to care to improve their attitudes either. 3 major issues, lack of safety, teachers are easily frustrated, principle does not take parent's complain seriously.
