Summary

Cannon South Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bradyville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 354 students. The school is part of the Cannon County School District, which is ranked 136 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cannon South Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with its performance on TNReady assessments significantly below the state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.8% of Cannon South Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 42.2%. The school's performance is also consistently lower for all student subgroups compared to the state averages. Additionally, Cannon South Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.5% in 2022-2023 to 18.9% in 2023-2024.

While the nearby Hickory Creek School and North Coffee Elementary demonstrate higher academic performance and rankings, other schools within the Cannon County School District, such as Cannon North Elementary School and Cannon County Elementary School, also perform poorly on TNReady assessments and have similar low rankings compared to the state. The high chronic absenteeism rate and the overall low-performing nature of the Cannon County School District may be contributing factors to the challenges faced by Cannon South Elementary School.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, September 4, 2024

Terrible principal and teachers are tired and forgot why they started teaching. Principal uses scare tactics to try to intimidate parents. Teachers don't like half the kids. I would move away from any Cannon County school system or homeschool if you love your kids at all. Small town with a good old boy mentality. You can get away with anything if you know the right people. Close Quote
