I had an overall alright experience at Canton High School. The teachers here are great and easy to get along with. The staff, in general, is happy and helpful. The students can be hit or miss - your average high school experience. I wish they had offered more AP courses.

The environment is so positive and welcoming, it is a place where you know everyone and everyone knows you. It is perfect for a small town and is complete with a brand new performing arts center. The teachers are very helpful and are always willing to stay late to help you with anything you are struggling with.

Every School has room for improvement. It is no surprise that teachers are maxed out in all of their efforts. I do think that with school funding the way it is that my school is doing the very best with what they have.
