Summary

[Cannon County Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0045010426/school.aspx) is a small public school in Woodbury, TN, serving 419 students in grades 6–8 as part of the [Cannon County Schools](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/district/00450/search.aspx) district. The district itself ranks near the bottom of Tennessee (4th percentile), but the middle school posted its best year in recent history in 2025–2026, jumping from the 16th to the 32nd percentile in state rankings and earning a 2-star rating. Proficiency improved dramatically across every subject that year, with math rising from 13.5% to 26.4% and social studies from 27.6% to 41.1%.

The school's standout strength is its Algebra I program, where 8th graders posted a 57.9% proficiency rate in 2024–2025—well above the state average of 29.4%. Cannon also shows relative bright spots with Hispanic students and special education students, both ranking in the top third statewide in the most recent year. Still, Cannon trails most nearby schools overall. Its math proficiency (26.4%) is nearly identical to [Warren County Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0435001748/school.aspx)'s 25.8%, and its ELA scores are close to [DeKalb Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0099000323/school.aspx)'s. Schools in nearby Rutherford and Wilson Counties perform at a much higher level—[Siegel Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369001534/school.aspx), [Oakland Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002251/school.aspx), and [Christiana Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002037/school.aspx) all post math proficiency above 50%.

Cannon spends the least of any school in this comparison at $10,233 per student—roughly $2,000 to $4,000 less than [Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002253/school.aspx) or [Watertown Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0455002383/school.aspx). Chronic absenteeism stands at 15.0%, below the state average of 18.3%, though it ticked up from 11.4% the previous year. Overall, Cannon County Middle remains below state averages in every core subject, but the 2025–2026 results suggest genuine momentum. The key question is whether the school can sustain these gains and narrow the large gap with the higher-performing suburban schools just a short drive away.
