Summary:

Cannon County Schools is a small Tennessee district serving 1,813 students across five schools—Cannon County High School (grades 9-12), Cannon County Middle School (grades 6-8), and three Pre-K through 5th grade elementary schools: Cannon South Elementary School, Cannon County Elementary School, and Cannon North Elementary School. The district ranks in the bottom 4% of Tennessee districts, though school-level rankings range from the 15th to 32nd percentile and several schools improved this year.

The district's brightest spots are Cannon North Elementary School, which jumped from the 17th to the 31st percentile and leads all three elementary schools in math (34.6%) and ELA (34.7%) proficiency with the lowest chronic absenteeism at 9%, and Cannon South Elementary School, which rose to the 32nd percentile with the best elementary science in the district at 40.7%, including 5th-grade science above the state at 50%. Cannon County Middle School matched the top rank at the 32nd percentile with exceptional Algebra I proficiency (57.9% vs. 29.4% statewide). By contrast, Cannon County High School posts a strong 93.3% graduation rate but saw its rank slide from the 34th to 17th percentile, and Cannon County Elementary School is the lowest-ranked school in the district despite spending the most per student at $14,040.

Several patterns stand out. A sharp 4th-grade slump appears across elementary schools, with proficiency gaps of 24-26 points below state averages. Cannon County Middle School starts strong—6th-grade science tops the state (49.1% vs. 48.0%)—but the gap widens by 8th grade, where science falls to 20.3% versus 44.3% statewide. Since every Cannon County school has below-average chronic absenteeism, attendance is not the main driver of low achievement. The bottom line: the district has genuine bright spots, but the biggest opportunities for growth are 4th-grade instruction, middle and high school math, middle school science, and improving outcomes at Cannon County Elementary School despite its high spending.
