Summary:
Cannon County, Tennessee has only one high school, Cannon County High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance is concerning, as it is ranked 136 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing high schools in the state.
Academically, Cannon County High School struggles, with proficiency rates on TNReady exams significantly below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, only 13.3% of 10th graders are proficient in Algebra I, compared to a 3.2% state average, and just 7.1% of 10th graders are proficient in Biology I, compared to a 36.3% state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which may be contributing to the poor academic performance.
Despite these academic challenges, Cannon County High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.2%, which is above the state average. This suggests the school is able to keep students engaged and on track to graduate, even if they are not performing well academically. The school also spends $10,993 per student, a relatively high amount of funding, but this does not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes, indicating potential issues with how the resources are being utilized.
