Summary:
The 63435 zip code area is home to two schools - Canton Elementary and Canton High, both part of the Canton R-V school district. While these schools show some strengths, they also face challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas.
Both Canton Elementary and Canton High are relatively strong performers within their respective school types. Canton Elementary ranks in the top 57% of Missouri elementary schools, outperforming the state average in 3rd grade Math and ELA proficiency. Canton High ranks in the top 37% of Missouri high schools, with above-average Algebra I and Biology I end-of-course exam proficiency rates. However, both schools struggle with lower than average proficiency in several other grade levels and subjects, particularly in 4th-6th grade Math and 7th-8th grade ELA.
The schools also face potential equity concerns, with high free/reduced lunch rates indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be a contributing factor to their academic performance challenges. While Canton High spends more per student than Canton Elementary, the data suggests the need to closely examine resource allocation and support for all students to ensure equitable educational opportunities across the 63435 zip code area.
