Cannonsburg Elementary School

Summary:

Cannonsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ashland, Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 271 students. The school is part of the Boyd County School District, which is ranked 91 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cannonsburg Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking of 457 out of 685 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 2-star rating. The school's performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly for male students, White students, and students with low socioeconomic status. Despite higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Crabbe Elementary and Hager Elementary, both in the Ashland Independent district, tend to have higher academic performance and statewide rankings. However, Cannonsburg Elementary performs better than the nearby Catlettsburg Elementary, which is also in the Boyd County district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote A friend of mine that went to this school who's Autistic was denied help that would have addressed her special needs, with the teacher Ms. Patton dismissing it as special treatment when the friend in question in fact had legitimate needs. Because of that along with the bullying and stress she went through, my friend had to be homeschooled for good and has no diploma which would have helped her greatly.
I'm hoping this school learns from their mistakes to hold teachers like this accountable instead of sweeping it under the rug. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
