East Canton Middle School

Summary:

East Canton Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Osnaburg Local School District, with 187 students. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking in the middle of Ohio middle schools.

While East Canton Middle School generally performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in English Language Arts, the school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates below the state average in several grade levels. However, the school stands out in its performance for gifted and talented students, ranking in the top 10% of Ohio middle schools in this category for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 8.3% in 2019-2020 to 33.1% in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.

Compared to nearby schools like North Canton Middle School and the Canton City schools, East Canton Middle School has a much more homogeneous student population, with over 94% of students identifying as white. This lack of racial diversity may be an area for the district to consider addressing, as exposure to diverse perspectives and experiences can be valuable for student development and preparation for the real world.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
