Summary

Charles L Warstler Elementary School is a K–5 school at 2500 Schneider St NE in Canton, Ohio, serving 291 students as part of the Plain Local district. That district is comparatively strong — it ranks 212 of 773 Ohio districts (73rd percentile, 4 stars) — but the school itself ranks 1,075 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025-26, or 31st percentile with 2 stars. That roughly 42-point gap between where the school stands and where its district stands is the central fact about Warstler.

In 2025-26, Warstler scored below the state average on every reported measure: third-grade math 40.0 against 62.1 statewide, fourth-grade math 63.9 against 67.3, third-grade English language arts 51.7 against 63.4, and fourth-grade ELA 55.6 against 61.8. It trailed its own district by 18.7 to 35.5 points on those four measures, and while the district improved on three of four, Warstler declined on all four. Third grade is the acute weak spot — its 40.0 in math sits in the range of Canton City schools, while other Plain Local elementaries are at 91.4–92.5. Nearby Robert A. Taft Elementary School reaches the 90th percentile while serving a higher share of low-income students (66.59% free/reduced lunch vs. Warstler's 55.33%), and Ransom H Barr Elementary School, with a similar population, reaches the 58th percentile.

This is not a one-year dip. Warstler has slid from the 80th percentile and 4 stars in 2015-16 to 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2025-26, with 2025-26 the steepest single step. Special education students have ranked in the bottom 13–26% of Ohio schools for three straight years at 1 star, and low-income students were at the 18th percentile in 2025-26. Warstler also has the lowest per-pupil spending in its comparison set, $6,813 (2018-19), roughly $1,700–$4,800 less per student than every neighbor. Chronic absenteeism, 15.5% in 2025-26, matches the district norm but is well above higher-scoring peers such as Frazer Elementary School (10.6%) and North Canton Intermediate School (7.7%). The bottom line: a majority low-income school inside a strong district that underperforms that district on every reported measure, with third-grade achievement and special education outcomes the clearest priorities.
