1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers and faculty seem to dislike the students. There is no student engagement or emotional support. The women in the office are catty and the teachers have no compassion for the students. If they have a student whose parent they disliked in highschool then they take it out on the kid. If the principal and vice principal dislike the parent then watch your kid get punished harsher than other students. Did I mention that this school is ranked in the middle of the state? Average uninspired teachers and a nasty faculty put out dumb students. Welcome to Canton HSParent Review3y ago - Eastview Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI read previous reviews an I was a bit skeptical about this school at first but after a week of my children, grades K & 2nd, experiences and curriculum I was impressed. The teachers work hard to keep them going and give their children all the help they need to stay motivated and they always push them to do better. I am extremely satisfied with this school.Parent Review16y ago - Ingersoll Middle School
