Summary

Canton College Preparatory School is a public charter elementary school serving 407 students in grades K-8 in Canton, Ohio. The school is part of the Canton College Preparatory School District, which is ranked 661 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Canton College Preparatory School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 54.4% to 74.6% over the past 5 years, well above the state average and nearby public schools. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments is well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 34.4% of 5th graders proficient in science compared to the state average of 63.4%, and just 9.1% of 7th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 50%.

In contrast, the nearby Canton Arts Academy @ Summit performs significantly better, with test scores well above state averages and rankings in the top 40% of Ohio elementary schools. The data also reveals that Canton College Preparatory School struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, particularly students with special needs and from low-income backgrounds, raising equity concerns. Addressing these challenges, including the high chronic absenteeism rates and ensuring equitable funding and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes at the school.
