This School’s Reviews

5.0 Alum

6/28/2023

As someone who just graduated from Canton High School, I can honestly say it was an absolutely amazing place to spend my high school years. The teachers were so passionate about their subjects and really pushed me to reach my full potential. Whether I was hitting the field with the sports teams or joining clubs, there was always something cool to get involved in.

4.0 Junior

6/6/2022

Canton high school is overall a welcoming place, while some students struggle due to other students, the administration does their best job to keep everyone feel safe and welcome.

4.0 Senior

4/6/2022

There were some ups and downs within my education. I had at least 2-3 fantastic teachers per year, and a school life full involving sports, clubs, etc. is extremely to access. The administration has been going through a few changes but I believe the current principal and vice principals are fantastic right now.

Good atmosphere and so many opportunities to do. From sports to classes to clubs. All the teachers are willing to help the students even if you don’t have that teacher.
