Summary:
The Corning School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Corning High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in core subjects consistently falling below the district and state averages.
Corning High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 135th out of 305 schools in 2023-2024 to 210th out of 291 schools in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology are all lower than the district and state averages, with the 2024-2025 English Language Arts proficiency rate at just 23.2%, compared to the district's 31.8% and the state's 34.7%. This underperformance suggests that the school may be facing challenges in providing quality education to its students.
Interestingly, Corning High School has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 65.33% in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $10,160 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the national average, the academic performance remains below the district and state levels. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement at Corning High School.
