What stands out about Canton City

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +15.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Ohio's statewide +19.8% by 4.2 points, a growth rate faster than 32% of the 604 Ohio districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 8,414 to 7,893 students (6.2% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
