Summary:
Corning Union Elementary includes six schools—five elementary schools and one middle school—with results spanning elementary and middle grades. In 2025–26, the school averages were 28% in ELA, 19% in math and 16% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The average gaps were 22 points in ELA, 20 in math and 20 in science. The central finding is that every school with a reported result was below the state in each reported subject.
Woodson Elementary stands out in math and science, with the area’s highest results at 26% and 23%; West Street Elementary leads ELA at 32%. In comparison, Rancho Tehama Elementary has the lowest math result, at 13%, while Olive View Elementary is lowest in ELA at 23% and science at 8%. The range between schools is 8 points in ELA, 12 in math and 15 in science, so a school’s relative standing depends on the subject.
Results moved in different directions over time: the average ELA score rose 4 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math fell 1 point and science rose 2 points; the statewide gains meant the area narrowed its ELA gap but fell farther behind in math and science. SchoolDigger ranking percentiles also varied: Rancho Tehama rose 8 percentile points and Woodson rose 6, while Olive View fell 6 and West Street fell 4. Among the comparable K–6 schools, their 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were close—89.5% at Woodson, 89.6% at Olive View and 90.4% at West Street—despite different results. Student-teacher ratios also do not give a simple guide: Maywood’s was 17.9, compared with 22.0 at Woodson and 23.8 at Olive View. Columbia Academy’s 2025–26 test results are suppressed, and no all-grades science result is supplied for Rancho Tehama.
