Summary

Faircrest Memorial Elementary School is a public elementary school in Canton, Ohio, serving 755 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Canton Local School District. The school consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in science and mathematics, where it outperforms the state by a wider margin compared to English language arts. Faircrest Memorial Elementary School excels in supporting its African American and multi-racial student populations, ranking among the top 100 schools in Ohio for these subgroups.

While the school's performance for its special education and low socioeconomic status students is also noteworthy, ranking in the top 300-400 schools in the state, its performance for its white student population is relatively lower, ranking in the 500-700 range among Ohio elementary schools. The school has experienced a decline in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, but its 2024-2025 rate of 23.6% is still higher than the desired target, indicating a need for continued efforts to improve student attendance.

Compared to nearby schools, T.C. Knapp Elementary School and Lohr Elementary School, both part of the Perry Local School District, Faircrest Memorial Elementary School performs better academically. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Canton Arts Academy @ Summit, a public charter school within the Canton City School District.
