33^rd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,492 Michigan Elementary Schools

Better than 98% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Cannonsburg Elementary School is a top-rated K-5 school in Rockford, MI, serving 262 students as part of the highly-regarded Rockford Public Schools district. This school has earned a 5-star rating and currently ranks 33rd among all Michigan elementary schools—a remarkable climb of more than 180 spots over the past four years.

What truly sets Cannonsburg apart from its high-achieving neighbors is its exceptional performance in science and social studies. In the most recent school year, 86% of 5th graders were proficient in science and 64% in social studies—far exceeding district averages of 67% and 50%, and more than double the state averages. This strength is consistent year after year. For example, Cannonsburg's science scores run about 10 points higher than the next closest nearby school, Crestwood Elementary School. The school also shines in supporting all students: its male students rank in the 99th percentile statewide, and its work with students from low socio-economic backgrounds is equally impressive, ranking in the 99th percentile in a recent year—evidence that the school successfully helps every child achieve.

While math and reading scores are strong overall, 3rd-grade math proficiency (76%) is a relative area to watch, sitting just above the district average but slightly below peers like Roguewood Elementary School (77%) and Lakes Elementary School (76%). On the practical side, Cannonsburg achieves its outstanding results efficiently, spending about $15,614 per student—less than comparable schools like Meadow Ridge Elementary School ($17,242) or Ada Elementary School ($19,522). The school also boasts very low chronic absenteeism (6.2%), well below the district and state averages, reflecting a highly engaged student body. For parents seeking a well-rounded, efficient, and inclusive elementary experience, Cannonsburg is an outstanding choice.
