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.

Overall I enjoyed my time at Canton High School. The high standards really pushed me to do my best and I feel very prepared for college now. I excelled in academics and band and could not have done it without my school's foundation, but there were certain aspects of the school that were lacking such as the schools attention to UIL Academics and One Act Play. I'm grateful for my amazing teachers and would not have chosen to go anywhere else.

I like how the environment is safe and how they help students a lot. They are also very friendly and do a lot to help students be the best they can be. They are constantly upgrading technology and making things more modern like remodeling, adding new classes, upgrading programs etc.
