About Canton City

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

With an enrollment of approximately 10,200 students, the Canton City School District is the largest in Stark County and one of the eight largest urban school systems in Ohio. It is also one of the largest employers in Stark County. The district comprises two high schools (each with a freshman academy), three middle schools, and 14 elementary schools. In addition, the district operates five alternative high schools, one alternative middle school and helps operate a Montessori school, a Digital Academy, and an Arts Academy. The Canton City Schools offer a wide variety of strong academic, vocational, athletic, fine arts and other extracurricular activities. Beginning in 1999, a state-driven building program, Design for the Future, propelled the construction of ten new school buildings -- Cedar Elementary, Worley Elementary, Allen Elementary, Gibbs Elementary, Belden Elementary, Summit Elementary, Harter Elementary, McGregor Elementary, Clarendon Elementary and Lehman Middle School. A local bond issue provided about 30 percent of the funding. Under the plan, nineteen schools are now new or renovated. Vision: Every student of the Canton City Schools will achieve at high levels and graduate from high school prepared to enter the work force or college. Mission: Raising student achievement through the work
