Press release from Plymouth-Canton Community Schools:

The quality education offered to Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Students on a daily basis was recognized by the industry leader in school rankings recently when U.S. News & World Report named 12 of the district's Elementary and Middle Schools to its 2021-22 "Best Schools" rankings list. 

The "Best Schools" list sees U.S. News evaluators assess schools on students' proficiencies in mathematics and reading, as measured by state assessment tests. Half of the ranking formula was the results themselves; the other half was the results in the context of socioeconomic demographics. That formula ensures that top-ranked schools are high achieving ones that succeeded in educating all of their students. All data for the rankings is compiled from third-party sources, including the U.S. Department of Education.

Any school receiving a "Best School" designation finished in the top 30% of schools statewide. 

Pioneer, West, East, Discovery and Liberty middle schools were all named to the list, alongside seven elementary schools. Gallimore Elementary School ranked second on the overall statewide elementary list, topping the list of P-CCS honorees. Smith, Isbister, Bird, Tonda, Dodson, and Workman Elementary Schools joined Gallimore as "Best Schools" award recipients.
