Canute

Canute has two schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Canute Elementary School (PK–8, 262 students) and Canute High School (grades 9–12, 152 students), with 414 students combined. The clearest strengths are elementary students’ math results in grades 6 and 7 and strong elementary science performance; the high school’s results vary more by subject, with science below the state rate. Both schools also have much lower chronic absenteeism than the state. The most important takeaway is that standout performance is concentrated in particular subjects and grades, not consistent across every measure.

Canute Elementary stands out most in math for grades 6 and 7: grade 6 proficiency was 78%, 52 points above the state, and grade 7 was 54%, 28 points above. Its all-grades science rate was 64%, 34 points above the state; it was also above the state in all-grades ELA (30% versus 26%) and math (39% versus 25%). Canute High stands out in grade 11 math (26% versus 17% statewide) and ELA (39% versus 36%). Its all-grades profile is mixed: ELA was 13 points above the state and math 1 point above, while science was 9 points below and U.S. History 1 point below. Chronic absenteeism was 4% at the elementary school and 1% at the high school, compared with 16% statewide.

Scores declined in most subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: elementary ELA fell 5 points, math 7 and science 2; high-school ELA fell 3 points, math 7 and science 6, while U.S. History rose 1 point. SchoolDigger gives both schools four stars: the elementary school ranks 168 of 614 schools, at the 73rd percentile, and the high school ranks 130 of 462, at the 72nd percentile. In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 14.9 at the elementary school and 16 at the high school. Both report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: 39% of elementary students and 49% of high-school students. The high school’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 80%, compared with 78% statewide.
