Elementary Schools in Canton R-V

Summary:

The Canton R-V school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Canton Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 288 students. The data shows that Canton Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school, ranking in the top 21% of Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Canton Elementary has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools to the top 21% in just a few years. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its above-average proficiency rates in math and English language arts for 3rd and 6th graders suggest it is effectively educating its students and preparing them for success. However, the school's slightly elevated chronic absenteeism rate of 18.6% may be an area for the school to focus on, as high absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

With nearly 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Canton Elementary serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to ensure these students have the necessary tools to succeed. Overall, the data indicates that Canton Elementary is a strong-performing school within the Canton R-V district, and the school's recent improvements and academic performance are positive indicators for the education of its students.
