Middle Schools in Cannon County

There is only one middle school located in Cannon County, Tennessee - Cannon County Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has an enrollment of 405 students. While there are no other middle schools in the area to compare it to, the data reveals some concerning insights about the performance and demographics of Cannon County Middle School.

Academically, Cannon County Middle School is struggling, with proficiency rates on state assessments (TNReady) significantly below the Tennessee state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's mathematics proficiency rate was just 10.9%, compared to the state average of 39.7%. Similarly, the school's English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies proficiency rates were all at least 15 percentage points lower than the state averages. This trend of consistently low academic performance has persisted over the past two school years, indicating a need for significant improvement.

Another area of concern is the school's lack of diversity, with the student population being predominantly White (90.86%) and very low percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15.8, which could make it challenging to provide personalized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that Cannon County Middle School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the school district and community should prioritize addressing these issues to ensure that all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.
