Summary:
Zip code 37190 in Tennessee is served by a single high school, Cannon County High School, which enrolls students in grades 9 through 12 as part of Cannon County Schools. Because this is the only high school in the area, all school-level results directly mirror the district's high school figures, making it the sole point of comparison for families researching this community.
Cannon County High School stands out primarily for its graduation and dropout outcomes. The school graduates 93.3% of its students, which is above the statewide average of 90.5%, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is well below the state's 6.7%. Chronic absenteeism (17.5%) is also slightly better than the state average of 18.3%, though it is higher than the district-wide figure of 14.2%. However, academic proficiency tells a different story. The school's statewide ranking has fallen from the 34th percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 17th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026. In every core subject tested, proficiency rates are far below Tennessee averages. For example, only 17.2% of students are proficient in Algebra II, compared to 37.3% statewide, and Geometry proficiency stands at 20.4% versus 42.3% statewide. English II is the strongest subject, with 46.3% proficiency, but it still trails the state by nearly 12 points.
Interesting patterns emerge in course-taking. Ninth graders taking Geometry show 61.1% proficiency, while 10th graders in the same subject show just 12.7%, suggesting that higher-performing students take the course earlier and lower-performing students are tracked into later sections. Similarly, 10th graders in Algebra II (43.8%) far outpace 11th graders (14.0%). Per-student spending is $12,052, but with no free/reduced lunch or student-teacher ratio reported, families have limited context for these figures. Overall, Cannon County High School succeeds in keeping students enrolled through graduation, but struggles to bring most students to state-defined academic mastery, especially in math and science.
