Summary

East Canton Elementary School is a PK–5 school in East Canton, Ohio, serving about 450 students as part of the Osnaburg Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 835th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 46th percentile, or 2 stars — above its own district's 38th-percentile, 2-star position. It is mid-pack locally but stronger than many nearby urban and charter options: Summit Academy Community School for Alternative Learn-Canton (15th percentile), Stephanie Rushin Patrick Elementary School (8th), Canton College Preparatory School (22nd), AIM Academy @ Belden (23rd), and East Branch Preparatory AcademydbaWright Preparatory Academy (25th). It trails stronger neighbors such as Louisville Elementary School (66th percentile) and Ransom H Barr Elementary School (58th).

Math is the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 4th-grade math proficiency was 81.0% against Ohio's 67.3%, and 5th-grade math was 71.2% against 59.1%; only 3rd-grade math (56.4%) fell below the state's 62.1%. Fifth-grade math climbed from 50.7% to 63.9% to 71.2% over three years, and 4th grade rose from 71.0% to 76.2% to 81.0%. English language arts slipped in 2025–2026 to 53.8% in 3rd grade, 61.9% in 4th, and 62.7% in 5th, down from 65.1%, 63.5%, and 73.8% the year before, and behind Louisville Elementary School and Canton Arts Academy @ Summit. Fifth-grade science has been below the state in each recent year (59.3% versus 62.7%), a persistent gap.

Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism fell to 11.1% in 2025–2026 from 18.1% and 23.7% in earlier years, better than the district's 15.7% and behind only Canton Arts Academy @ Summit (9.9%) and Louisville Elementary School (10.0%) nearby. Low-income students rank in the 66th percentile — well above the school overall — while special-education students rank lower, at the 31st percentile in 2024–2025. The school manages this with leaner resources than many neighbors: $8,236 per student in 2018–2019 and a 20.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, alongside a very high free/reduced-lunch rate.
