My overall experience in school has been great and definitely not one that I will ever forget. The teachers are great with a select few in the music department that aren't so great. However for a small school and community the school, teachers and atmosphere are fantastic.

Canton Jr/Sr High School is a very nice school. I would recommend this school to anyone. This school is a school I feel super safe at. They have tons of safety percussions. Most of the teachers are really cool and great teachers. For the most part the food is decent to eat. We don't have any gang activity or bad things happening in our school.

The materials are also outdated and substandard and if faculty offers any new ideas they are quickly dismissed....

I attend a very challenging college and it opened my eyes to the fact that I was not challenged at all in high school. I had to learn how to study in college, which is something I never did in h...
