K.E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary has a predominantly African American student population (77.47%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (18.18%) and White (4.35%) students. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are well below the Palm Beach district and state averages, ranging from 26% to 54% proficiency. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, from 2066 out of 2219 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1779 out of 2256 in 2023-2024.

Despite higher per-student spending ($21,910) and a lower student-teacher ratio (11.7) than the district and state averages, the school continues to struggle academically. This suggests that factors such as socioeconomic status (93.68% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and chronic absenteeism (53.9%) may be significant barriers to student success. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support will be crucial for improving educational outcomes at K.E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary.
