Cannon South Elementary School

Summary:

Cannon South Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bradyville, Tennessee, serving 355 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cannon County School District, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cannon South Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with its student performance on TNReady tests generally lower than state and county averages. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (27.5%) and English Language Arts (26.8%) were well below the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. The school is ranked 779 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the bottom quarter of the state. Cannon South's performance is particularly low for its White student population and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 775 and 708 out of Tennessee elementary schools for these subgroups, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Cannon North Elementary and Cannon County Elementary, Cannon South Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower. The school's performance has also been declining over the past two school years. These challenges are likely compounded by the fact that the Cannon County School District, of which Cannon South is a part, is one of the lowest-performing districts in Tennessee, ranking 135 out of 139 districts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
