Summary:
Canton College Preparatory School is the only public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 380 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces significant challenges in providing quality education, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Academically, Canton College Preparatory School lags behind state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 8th grade math, the school's proficiency rate is 38.7%, compared to the state average of 46.3%. This persistent underperformance suggests the school may be struggling to effectively meet the needs of its diverse student body, which is predominantly African American (64.74%).
Additionally, the school faces high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 56.4%, much higher than the state average. This, coupled with a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.7, indicates the school may lack the resources and strategies necessary to support regular attendance and provide personalized attention to its students. With a spending per student of $7,546, Canton College Preparatory School appears to have limited financial resources, which could contribute to the challenges in delivering a high-quality education.
