Perry Local Schools restructuring in fall 2024
As part of Perry Local School District, students can complete kindergarten through fourth grade at T.C. Knapp Elementary School. Fifth and sixth grade are offered at Pfieffer Intermediate School, while Edison Middle teaches seventh and eighth grade. All three schools earn a B-plus from Niche. With three new elementary schools opening in the fall of 224, the district is turning T.C. Knapp into an early learning center. Perry High School, which receives a B-minus, recently introduced the Library Learning Commons, designed with an open concept to encourage collaborative work and more social settings in the school.

Perry Township hosts community events
Perry Township hosts several events for locals to attend throughout the year, including the annual Light Up Perry Holiday Lighting Contest, where residents compete for the most festive homes. One of the year’s largest events is the Perry Township Oktoberfest, which is kicked off by the annual Perry Rotary Community Parade. The rest of the festivities include hay wagon rides, visiting a petting zoo, playing with a dunk tank, food vendors and live entertainment.
Westview is largely car dependent
While some buses stop along Navarre Road, which connects Westview to the rest of Perry Township, the area is car-dependent. U.S. Route 62 borders the neighborhood and intersects Interstate 77, which locals can take into Massillon and Canton. The Akron-Canton Airport is about 13 miles away and offers 20 nonstop flights to cities across the U.S.Westview residents travel to nearby cities for shopping and dining
Residents of Westview need to travel for most retail and dining options, although there is one local standout in the neighborhood. Tasti Creme is a family-owned ice cream shop that serves unique homemade flavors from March to October every year. The Nuthouse Saloon and the Lighthouse Grill are American-style restaurants about 3 miles away in nearby Richville. Kuhn recommends Belden Village Mall, which is about 9 miles away, for shopping. “North Canton is a little bit of a drive, but there’s a mall there that I’ll point people towards,” Kuhns says. “I’ll go there often, just to hang out with friends.” Stores include Dick’s Sporting Goods and Macy’s, and people can grab a bite to eat at KPot Korean BBQ or Chili’s. Groceries can be found at Marc’s Stores, about 2 miles away, or Giant Eagle, about a 4-mile drive. Both Walmart and Lowe’s are about 4 miles away.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
