Summary:
The 37026 zip code area has only one school, Cannon South Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 355 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (88.73%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, African American, and Asian students. However, Cannon South Elementary consistently underperforms compared to Cannon County and Tennessee state averages in academic subjects like Math, ELA, and Science.
Cannon South Elementary's test score proficiency rates are significantly lower than state averages, with only 27.5% of students proficient in Math and 26.8% proficient in ELA during the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance is also below the Cannon County district averages in most subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.9 is slightly higher than the recommended 15:1 ratio for elementary schools, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Over the past two school years, Cannon South Elementary's ranking has declined from 695 out of 1,020 Tennessee elementary schools to 779 out of 1,008, and its rating has dropped from 2 stars to 1 star out of 5. This suggests that the school's performance is not improving and may be worsening relative to other schools in the state. Addressing the low academic performance, potential socioeconomic factors, and high student-teacher ratio should be priorities for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
