Canton College Preparatory School meets Ohio's state standards and ranks as the #2 charter school in Stark County on the 2025–26 Ohio School Report Card. Its 4-star Student Progress rating means students here are growing faster than the state expects, no matter where they started the year. For your family, that's a school that meets every child where they are and keeps moving them forward.

Your child’s teacher knows his or her name. And the work.

When there are fewer students in the room, a teacher can see when your child is stuck. Not at test time. On a Tuesday afternoon. That's when the help happens.

Instruction that adjusts to your child. Not the other way around.

Teachers meet every student at the level he or she is actually at. If your child is behind, they get caught up. If they’re ahead, they get pushed. Nobody waits for the slowest student in the room.

Progress tracked and reported. Not guessed.

The school measures how much each student grows every year. That's not the same as measuring where they rank. Growth means your child moves forward. Every child, every year.

Everything you just read about? It costs nothing.

Personalized instruction — every student taught at the level they're actually at. If your child is ahead, they get pushed. If they're behind, they get caught up.
  • No tuition.
  • No fees.
  • Free breakfast and lunch.
  • Free transportation.
It's publicly funded. Canton College Prep is a public charter school, which means it's paid for through state education dollars — tuition-free, no fees, free meals, free transportation. The individualized instruction, the college-prep model, the writing curriculum, and the warm school culture that families talk about? All of it is included.
“This is a phenomenal place and a safe space—we like safe! It’s a comfortable, family-oriented environment, and everyone is personable. You really get to know our children and treat them like your own. Canton College Prep has had all of my children!” Amanda McClain, parent of students in 1st grade, 5th grade, and two scholars who previously graduated from 8th grade
Your child's in school right now. Today counts. Tomorrow counts. Every semester they spend in a school that's not moving them forward is a semester they don't get back.

You've read the numbers. You know what your child needs. Here's where you find out if this is it.
