Summary

Canfield Village Middle School is a grades 5–8 school at 42 Wadsworth St in Canfield, Ohio, with 774 students — the only building serving grades 5–8 in the Canfield Local district, which ranks 52nd of 773 Ohio districts (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in the Youngstown area.

Academically, the school has earned 5 stars and a top-5% statewide rank every year in its record, ranging from the 98th percentile in 2021-22 and 2022-23 to the 95th percentile in 2024-25 and 2025-26. Proficiency runs 18 to 38 points above the state in every subject and grade tested, and Algebra I has held at 100% proficient for four straight years. Chronic absenteeism sits at 13.3% — at or below the district's rate and lower than nearly every nearby middle school. Class sizes are modest at roughly 15 students per teacher, and female and male students perform almost identically, at the 95th and 94th percentile.

Compared with neighbors, Canfield leads South Range Middle School in science and in grades 5 and 7 math, though South Range has markedly better attendance at 8.4%; Western Reserve Middle School's standout is grade 8 math at 92.3%, about 17 points above Canfield's 75.7%. Chaney Middle posts an 8.5% average proficiency with 72.6% chronic absenteeism. Three watch points stand out: grade 6 English language arts has stayed in a flat 77–79% band every year of the four-year record; grade 8 math has slipped to 75.7%, possibly because accelerated students take Algebra I instead; and low-SES students now rank in the 89th percentile as free/reduced lunch rose from 12.55% to 20.41%.

What people are saying
by a parent
Friday, June 17, 2011

Open Quote Students do well because most of them come from high socioeconomic homes, have professionals as parents and are well-prepared when they come to school. The teachers and administrators at CVMS are no better or worse than most of the teachers in the Mahoning-Trumbull County areas. In fact, some of the teachers are decidedly substandard. Discipline is good in the school, though. That helps a lot. There is a moderate amount of discrimination based on who you are and who you know, what your name is, etc. Canfield tends to be a very snobbish community and this is reflected in the schools.
