Summary

Canton High School serves 101 students in grades 9–12 in the small Oklahoma community of Canton. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 92%, and chronic absenteeism fell to 8% in 2025–2026. The latest test results are much weaker: students were below the state in math and science, at state level in U.S. History, and just above it in English Language Arts I. The most important concern is that math proficiency was only 5%, 20 points below the state.

English Language Arts I is Canton’s strongest subject in comparison with its district and the state: 27% of students were proficient, compared with 26% statewide and 21% in the Canton district. Math is weakest by those comparisons, while science proficiency was 13%, 17 points below the state and district. Canton’s results were lower than all four nearby high schools in English Language Arts I, science, and U.S. History; in math, Canton scored above Seiling High School, tied Watonga High School, and trailed Fairview High School and Okeene Junior-Senior High School (Sr). Graduation is a brighter point: Canton’s 92% rate matched its district, was above the state’s 78%, and was higher than two of the four nearby schools.

Proficiency declined in all four subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: English Language Arts I fell 13 points, math 5, science 11, and U.S. History 6. SchoolDigger ranks Canton at the 30th percentile with 2 stars, down 50 percentile points from its 2023–2024 peak. Its student–teacher ratio is comparatively low at 7.0, the lowest among nearby schools, while 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025—the highest nearby rate. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings are especially low for Special Education Students, at the 3rd percentile, and stronger for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 55th percentile versus 30th overall; that group’s ranking fell from the 96th percentile the prior year. With 101 students, changes in a small number of students’ results can shift reported proficiency percentages.
