Summary

Canton Intermediate serves 533 students in grades 3 through 5 within the highly-rated Canton Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 84th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional mathematics performance, with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates (70.41% and 66.86%, respectively) dramatically exceeding the state average by over 20 percentage points. The school is also notably effective at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with this subgroup ranking in the 79th percentile statewide, and its Gifted and Talented program consistently earns top marks. Furthermore, Canton Intermediate achieves these strong results while spending significantly less per student ($8,265) compared to nearby schools like Grand Saline Intermediate ($10,938) and Hallie Randall Elementary ($11,782), suggesting high operational efficiency.

However, the school's performance tells a tale of two subjects. While math is a clear strength, reading scores are more inconsistent and have recently fallen below the state average in 3rd and 4th grades. Science is also a notable area of weakness, with 5th-grade proficiency dropping to 32.18% in 2024-2025, a significant decline from 57% just two years prior. This uneven performance contributed to a recent dip in the school's overall state ranking, from the 75th percentile to the 62nd percentile, its lowest in a decade. This decline appears systemic, affecting multiple student subgroups, and it will be important to watch whether this is a temporary setback or a new trend.

When compared to nearby schools, Canton Intermediate's strengths become even clearer. For instance, in 4th-grade math, Canton's 70.41% proficiency rate dwarfs the 27.62% rate at Earnest O Woods Intermediate in the 1-star Wills Point Independent School District (Isd). Even against its most direct peer, Grand Saline Intermediate, Canton consistently outperforms in overall district ranking and math scores, though Grand Saline had a stronger showing in 3rd-grade reading. The school's core challenge is to replicate its math success across reading and science to return to its historically higher performance levels.
