It's a good school. As told by other reviewers, sure, there may be a bullying problem, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the district itself is horrible. Attempts at revamping the policies of student-to-student interactions is an attempt at fixing the problems reported by parents. Bullying, however, is the cause of parental influence. Every single school has a bullying issue, though this one just seems worse because it is smaller, and drama is inflated. Trust me, I know. However, throughout my years here, I have come to realize the influence that our teachers have on students. The teaching styles are unique and passionate, and I find myself going to class every single day excited to learn something new. I know many people absolutely love learning in these classes. People that believe that their children are being left in the dust are missing out on a key component of learning-- things like that happen. Some students are not as adept at learning as others. This is merely a fact, and it is not the school's responsibility to change the way a student thinks. This is the student's choice, so blaming the school for their failure is turning a blind eye to this simple explanation. The teachers at Canfield, from my experience, are solely there to help. They are not there to inhibit your child's learning. The vast majority of teachers here are overqualified for their jobs. Every single time I've asked for help I've been helped. Furthermore, sports are not associated with the quality of the school itself. Coaches are not directed by the school, and the Athletic Director is not going to be the person to confront about your child's playing time. Times are changed. Varsity sports are not mainly for fun. They are akin to college athletics. If you are worried for your child's well-being, there is always an explanation for bullying or mistreatment. Not everything is the school's fault. The programs in place for students are phenomenal, and if you don't see the opportunities offered by Canfield schools, then you are not paying attention to the full picture. Needless complaining gets you nowhere. Simply find the roots of problems with your child if you worry about bullying and stop blaming the school for every single negative interaction between classmates. School is about learning and finding who you are. It is not about parental interference against a misunderstanding that may hurt your child's feelings. This is high school. We are almost adults. We should handle it.

My experience with this school is great! I see that others are saying they haven't treated everyone fairly, but everyone at that school really cares about one another and is always willing to sacrifice and make changes. Teachers actually care and like their job. I have always felt safe there, since the police are right next to us and in the building. They also try to include family as much as possible when they have events.The counselor reached out to me and my family when my mother died and so did my teachers, which at the time meant a whole lot. Yes, like with everything Canfield has had their bumps. Teachers have also tried making learning fun and exciting. I have met so many great people and friends here. If you're thinking about enrolling your kid, it will be one of the best things you do for them.

They don't do anything. The bullies with big names in the community get away with whatever they want to.
