Elementary Schools in Cannon County

Summary:

The Cannon County elementary school system consists of three schools - Cannon South Elementary School, Cannon County Elementary School, and Cannon North Elementary School - all of which serve students in grades K-5. Unfortunately, the data indicates that the academic performance of these schools is consistently below state averages, with no clear standout among them.

All three Cannon County elementary schools have relatively low statewide rankings, with Cannon South Elementary ranked 757th, Cannon County Elementary ranked 839th, and Cannon North Elementary ranked 835th out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, all three schools are rated just 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The schools' performance on standardized tests, such as TNReady assessments in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science, lags behind both the Cannon County and Tennessee state averages.

Further analysis reveals that the Cannon County elementary schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 18.9% across all three schools, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools vary in their per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, but these differences do not appear to translate into meaningful improvements in academic outcomes. Addressing the systemic issues within the Cannon County elementary school system will require a comprehensive, district-wide effort to identify and implement effective strategies for improving student learning and achievement.
