High Schools in Canton

There is only one high school located in Canton, Oklahoma - Canton High School. This small school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has access to significant resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $26,672 in 2018-2019, its performance has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high statewide ranking of 87th out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024 to a low of 225th out of 439 high schools in 2022-2023.

In the 2023-2024 school year, 47.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in CCRA/English Language Arts, and 17.4% were proficient or better in CCRA/Mathematics, indicating room for improvement in academic performance.

Despite the challenges, Canton High School's small size, with a low student-to-teacher ratio of 7:1, may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support for students. However, the small size may also limit the range of educational and extracurricular opportunities available to students. Overall, the data suggests that Canton may need to focus on addressing the socioeconomic factors and inconsistencies in school performance to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
