Summary:
The city of Canton, North Carolina, is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Haywood County Schools district. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with Pisgah High School and Bethel Elementary standing out as the top-performing schools in the area.
Pisgah High School is the district's top-ranked high school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 137 out of 641 high schools in North Carolina. The school boasts consistently high test scores, with 65-89% proficiency in various End-of-Course (EOC) exams, and an impressive 87.7% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the state and district averages. Bethel Elementary also shines, ranking 279 out of 1,490 elementary schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating, with strong performance in mathematics and science.
While the data reveals high poverty levels across all the schools, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the per-student spending and student-teacher ratios vary. Meadowbrook Elementary lags behind its peers in some areas, suggesting the district may need to investigate the factors contributing to the performance differences and ensure equitable resource allocation across all schools.
