Osnaburg Local

Osnaburg Local in East Canton, Ohio, serves about 898 students across three schools: East Canton Elementary School (PK–5), East Canton Middle School (6–8), and East Canton High School (9–12), with the district ranked 483 of 773 Ohio districts (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26.

Elementary currently has the highest rank among the three at 46th percentile (2 stars), though it earned 3 stars in 2024–25. Its clearest strength is math: 4th-grade math is 81.0% proficient (13.7 points above state), and 5th-grade math is 71.2% (12.1 points above state), both improved from 2024–25. ELA is mixed: 3rd-grade ELA is 53.8% (9.6 points below state), 5th-grade ELA is 62.7% (7.7 points below state), and 4th-grade ELA is essentially at state at 61.9%. Elementary also has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.1%. Middle school shows a dramatic split: Algebra I is exceptional at 94.4% proficient in 2025–26, 32.8 points above state and 20.3 points above the district's 74.1%, while 6th-grade math is 68.2% (12.0 points above state). But grade 8 is a major concern: math is 29.8% (22.2 points below state), ELA is 49.2% (9.1 below), and science is 58.5% (2.7 below), a reversal from 2024–25 when those subjects were far above state. Middle's rank fell from 63rd percentile/3 stars to 45th percentile/2 stars, and it has the highest absenteeism at 20.2%.

High school has a 100% graduation rate and above-state results in American Government (79.7%, 8.1 points above state) and Algebra I (65.0%, 3.4 points above state), though its Algebra I is below the district aggregate because middle school's score is much higher. Other high school EOCs are below state: Geometry 40.7% (2.6 below), Biology 62.1% (4.9 below), American History 67.9% (5.3 below), and English II 61.8% (essentially at state). High school remains at 38th percentile/2 stars with absenteeism at 19.7%. Operationally, elementary has the highest student-teacher ratio (20.2) but the best current rank; middle has the highest per-student spending from 2018–19 ($9,048) and the largest rank decline; high school has the lowest ratio (15.3) and spending ($7,744).
