Summary

Cannonsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ashland, Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 247 students. The school is part of the Boyd County School District, which is ranked 90 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cannonsburg Elementary School has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 298 out of 705 Kentucky elementary schools in 2013-2014 (3 stars) and 599 out of 684 in 2021-2022 (1 star). The school's current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 375 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. One key issue is the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.0% to 30.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Catlettsburg Elementary (25.0%), Summit Elementary (25.0%), and Ponderosa Elementary (25.0%).

Additionally, Cannonsburg Elementary School's test scores in mathematics, reading, science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics are generally lower than the Boyd County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 38%, compared to 41% for Boyd County and 43% for the state. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.49% to 63.53% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of nearby schools like Summit Elementary (56.08%) and Ponderosa Elementary (47.32%).

A friend of mine that went to this school who's Autistic was denied help that would have addressed her special needs, with the teacher Ms. Patton dismissing it as special treatment when the friend in question in fact had legitimate needs. Because of that along with the bullying and stress she went through, my friend had to be homeschooled for good and has no diploma which would have helped her greatly.
I'm hoping this school learns from their mistakes to hold teachers like this accountable instead of sweeping it under the rug. Close Quote
