Cannon Road Elementary

Summary:

Cannon Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Academically, Cannon Road Elementary faces challenges, with its students performing below the district and state averages on the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) tests, particularly in mathematics and science. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school performs well for its low-income student population, ranking 15th out of 546 Maryland elementary schools for this subgroup.

Compared to nearby schools like Fairland Elementary, Glenallan Elementary, and Galway Elementary, Cannon Road Elementary has lower academic performance and a lower statewide ranking, despite having a higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and class size, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.

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.
