Summary

Cannon County Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Woodbury, TN, the county seat of Cannon County, serving approximately 320 students within the Cannon County Schools district, which ranks in the 4th percentile among Tennessee districts. The school itself ranks 867th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 15th percentile with a 1-star rating.

Academically, proficiency rates at Cannon County Elementary School are well below district and state averages: only 24.6% of students are proficient in math, 23.9% in English language arts, and 26.3% in science. It is the lowest-performing school among nearby elementary schools in both math and science, and only Reeves-Rogers Elementary School has lower ELA proficiency. Both in-district counterparts — Cannon South Elementary School and Cannon North Elementary School — outperform this school by roughly 10 percentage points in every subject, and nearby Rutherford County schools like Lascassas Elementary School post proficiency rates more than double this school's. Most striking is 3rd-grade performance: only 10.8% of students are proficient in math and science, and 13.5% in ELA, roughly 30 points below state averages.

There are bright spots. The 4th-grade class outperforms the district in every subject, with science proficiency of 47.7% nearly matching the state average — but gains do not carry into 5th grade, where science falls to 16.2%. Chronic absenteeism improved dramatically, from 25.6% to 12.0% in one year, better than the state average. Special education students ranked in the 63rd percentile statewide in 2022-2023, a notable strength. The school also spends more per student ($14,040) than Cannon South Elementary School or Cannon North Elementary School yet lags both academically. Addressing 3rd-grade readiness and building on 4th-grade momentum are the school's clearest paths forward.
