Canton Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Canton Area School District in Canton, Pennsylvania. With 373 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, the school has struggled academically compared to the state and its surrounding schools.

The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (39.5%) and PSSA English Language Arts (55.1%) are below the state averages, and its performance on Keystone Exams is also concerning, with only 16.3% proficient in Algebra I, 46.9% in Biology, and 69.3% in Literature.
