Canon WAS a great school under previous administrations. They can t keep the best teachers and they end up with teachers that have been there forever that cannot come close to relating to students. I sent my daughter to Mayer last year when I found out the 8th, 7th, and 4th grade teachers left. No leadership, poor teaching, and NO arts, music, baseball, football, track, etc. My daughter and her friends are doing great at a real school in Mayer.
Canon School is a joke. The principal is lazy and does nothing when it comes to disapline. The 8th grade teacher calls the girls on his football team "eye candy" and the kindergarten teacher is pulled all the time to disapline students.. Don't send your children here!
This is a wonderful, caring, nurturing school. Because of the size of the school, the staff is able to know every student that attends, and it is more like a big family atmosphere. This is how schools used to be when I was a kid, and I'm glad my children are enjoying this experience instead of an overcrowded, lost in the shuffle headache. My children love going to this school, and that's half the battle of getting them to learn.
This school has a highly dedicated staff who strive for excellence.
This is a great school..Super staff.
This school has a caring, positive administration who strive to provide the best education for the students that is possible. The teachers are dedicated, hard-working, and continue to learn and update their teaching skills. My child has been a student here for 7 years. Open-gym nights are available for after-school fun, and joining the basketball and volleyball teams are options for students. Students take computer classes, participate in P.E., and take great pride in their community. The academic programs are top notch, and apply differentiated learning to all levels of students. The school has consistently made Annual Yearly Progress as required by NCLB. The school uses the Make Your Day program for student accountability of behavior, which enables children to discuss and modify their behavior and also have a part in the discussion of their peer's behavior.
Discipline is the only focus of the school.
