While Canon School has a predominantly White student population (78.63%), it has seen a significant decline in its academic performance in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 293 out of 1,039 Arizona elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 922 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 1 star during this time period.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1, which is lower than the state average, Canon School faces significant challenges. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with 93.13% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 4.6% in the 2019-2020 school year. While Canon School's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $19,314, which is higher than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
