Canton High School has shown fluctuating performance on state assessments, with some notable strengths and weaknesses. In 2024-2025, the school performed better than the state average in English Language Arts and U.S. History, but significantly lower in Mathematics and Science. The school's performance on the CCRA assessments has also been mixed, with higher proficiency in English Language Arts compared to Mathematics.
