Cannon Elementary School

It's sad that this school wants to diagnose and medicate little boys because they are a challenge and require teachers to actually teach. The principal get an D- for poor parent communication and lying to cover up their mistakes.

Makes me sad to see this great school rated lower than others around. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, we have had our kids in other schools in this district and they don't begin to compare with Cannon. Strong leader with creative vision and is always bringing new opportunities forward for our kids that they couldn't get anywhere else. We love Cannon and so do our 3 kids!

The teachers are great and the education my child receives is greater than it would be at most other schools.

The teachers and staff are all very friendly. Everyone takes the time to get to know each individual student as well as their families. You feel like you've known everyone forever. They take extra safety precautions and you just feel confidant knowing your child is in good hands.

Awesome school! I couldn't ask for a better place for both of my children to attend school. There's a lot of diversity in the student body. This school really has it together. Its one of the top schools in the area. We couldn't be more pleased here!

Good School with dedicted teachers, some teachers are very young and clearly are still developing skill, however they are caring and kind. Principal is hard to reach and seems to stand back but must be a strong leader for school to be so strong.
