Students attend McKinley High, home of the Bulldogs
Part of Canton City School District, students in the area can start at Cedar Elementary School, which teaches kindergarten through third grade. Fourth through sixth grade are offered at Clarendon Intermediate School, and seventh- and eighth-grade students head to Crenshaw Middle School. All three schools receive a C-minus from Niche. McKinley High School, rated C, is home to the McKinley Bulldogs, who are part of a century-long rivalry with the Massillon Tigers from Washington High School. “I’m kind of torn here,” says Hussar, a McKinley graduate. “My wife went to McKinley, but my kids went to Massillon.” All of Canton supports the Bulldogs, going to the length of throwing an annual Beat Massillon Community Parade that marches from the Civic Center to the Centennial Plaza downtown.
