Summary:
ZIP 44705 has two middle-level schools in Canton City School District: Crenshaw Middle School serves grades 7–8 with 744 students, and Youtz Intermediate School serves grades 4–6 with 273 students. Together they enroll about 1,017 students. The district is ranked 640 of 773 districts, at the 17th percentile, with 1 star. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for both schools, so it is unavailable.
Crenshaw stands out for advanced math: in 2025–26 Geometry 90.9% and Algebra I 86.4% proficient, far above district and state. But its grade-level scores range from 26.3% to 48.5%, with Math 7 30.3%, Math 8 26.3%, ELA 7 48.5%, ELA 8 32.8%, Science 8 33.8%. Youtz has lower chronic absenteeism 32.3% vs Crenshaw 40.4%, district 35.3%, smaller student-teacher ratio 15.1 vs 23.2, and higher per-student spending $10,576 vs $9,710 (2018–19). Yet Youtz is below district in every 2025–26 listed test; its grade-level proficiency range is 9.3%–37.0%.
Both schools face high chronic absenteeism—about one in three at Youtz and two in five at Crenshaw. Crenshaw improved in ELA 7 and ELA 8 from 2024–25 to 2025–26 but declined in Math 8, Science 8, and Algebra I. Youtz improved in Science 5 and ELA 4 but declined in Math 4 and ELA 6. Crenshaw's own rank is around 22nd–24th percentile, still bottom quartile. Because the schools serve different grades, compare each to district, state, and its prior year rather than directly to each other.
