Summary:
Corning Union Elementary district contains one middle school, Maywood Middle, serving grades 6-8 in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6% is notably better than the state average, its overall academic performance is significantly below state standards, ranking in the 14th percentile. A closer look reveals a stark pattern: student proficiency drops sharply between grades, with 6th-grade English being a relative strength but 8th-grade results in all subjects falling below 14% proficiency. Science is a particular area of concern, with only about 10% of students testing as proficient.
Despite substantial per-student spending, the school's rankings have declined over the past three years. For parents, this indicates that while Maywood Middle maintains good student attendance, major academic challenges persist, especially as students progress through middle school within the Corning Union Elementary district. The significant performance drop from 6th to 8th grade suggests a critical need for focused support during these transitional years.
