Summary

Cannon North Elementary School, located in Readyville, TN, serves 238 students in grades PK-5 and is part of Cannon County Schools, a district ranked near the bottom of Tennessee. Despite that, Cannon North has shown clear improvement: its 2025-2026 state rank jumped to the 31st percentile (2 stars), up from the 17th percentile the year before. Its proficiency rates in math, English Language Arts, and science all exceed the district average, though they remain roughly 6-10 points below state averages. The school's math scores have nearly tripled in three years, and its ELA and science scores have risen steadily, making it one of the fastest-improving schools in the area.

One standout strength is attendance. Cannon North's chronic absenteeism rate is just 9%, less than half the state rate of 18.3%, and it has the best attendance in its district. Third grade is particularly strong—students perform at near-state levels in math and science, and just a few points below in ELA. The school also achieves these results while spending the least per student ($11,793) among all nearby comparison schools, including Kittrell Elementary, Reeves-Rogers Elementary, and Hobgood Elementary. In fact, Cannon North outperforms several of those higher-spending schools in ELA and science, and it ranks alongside Cannon South Elementary as the top schools in Cannon County.

The main concern is a sharp drop-off in 4th and 5th grade. While 3rd graders match state averages, 4th graders fall 20-25 points behind in math and ELA, and 5th graders still trail significantly in math and science. Subgroup results, including for white and low-income students, remain in the bottom 12th percentile statewide, indicating that improvement isn't reaching all groups yet. The gap is also stark when compared to nearby Rutherford County Schools like Lascassas Elementary or Buchanan Elementary, where proficiency reaches 55-67%. Still, Cannon North's recent momentum, excellent attendance, and cost efficiency make it a promising bright spot in a low-performing district, if it can strengthen its upper elementary support.
