GreatSchools Rating
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.

I feel very welcomed in all aspects of my identity. It can be hard being involved in multiple extracurriculars, but at Canton the campus is so big that almost everyone is connected in one way or another, and it makes people feel good.

The best part about Canton High School is its' diversity. People and cultures from all over the world make this a special place to go to school. The worst part about Canton High School is administration and its' disconnectedness from students in making decisions.

Canton High offers many class options that you wouldn't have at most other high schools. However they don't prepare students for college or any future careers they might have. There is no job shadowing or any college preparatory classes.

worst 4 years of my life, the administration cares more about vaping than sexual assault or mental health. NEVER GO TO CANTON HIGH SCHOOL OR PCEP I am about to graduate and the biggest decision of my life was not going to a different school when I had the option. I had 30 teachers throughout the 4 y...

This school is terrible. The only people who are successful are pro athletes and teachers who teach here. You have to wake up earlier for school than you do for work, you can't take any classes you like until you are a senior and they make you walk outside when it's below 0. In addition to this, the...
