Summary

East Canton Middle School is a small public school serving grades 6–8 with 194 students in East Canton, Ohio, part of the Osnaburg Local district.

The school's 2025–26 ranking is 578 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (45th percentile, 2 stars), a notable drop from 63rd percentile and 3 stars the prior year—the lowest rank in its recent history. Its district ranks 483 of 773 (38th percentile). Among nearby schools, East Canton outperforms Canton City schools like Crenshaw Middle School and STEAMM Academy, roughly competes with Canton South Middle School in some subjects, but trails higher-performing suburban schools such as Louisville Middle School, North Canton Middle School, and Oakwood Middle School—especially in ELA and 8th-grade math.

Results are mixed by subject. Algebra I is a standout at 94.4% proficiency (state: 61.6%), and 6th-grade math is above state at 68.2%. However, 8th-grade math is 22.2 points below state (29.8% vs. 52.0%), and ELA 7 and ELA 8 also fall well below state. Chronic absenteeism improved from 33.1% in 2023–24 to 20.2% in 2025–26, but remains above the district rate and several nearby suburban schools. Because the school is small, year-to-year swings can reflect cohort differences, so multi-year trends matter more than a single year. Subgroup results show relatively strong outcomes for low-SES students and gifted students, while disabled and special education students have generally lower ranks.
