Summary
Olive View Elementary serves 549 students in grades K–6 in Corning, California, as part of the Corning Union Elementary School District. The school’s 2025–26 results show that its most important challenge is low proficiency across all three tested subjects: it trailed both the district and California in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, and trailed the two nearby K–6 comparison schools in every subject.
Science is the clearest weakness, while math is the closest of the three subjects to district and state results. Olive View’s proficiency was 23% in ELA, 16% in math, and 8% in science; it was behind the state by 26, 23, and 28 percentage points, respectively, and behind its district by 4, 3, and 7 points. Compared with nearby K–6 schools, its scores were also lower: Woodson Elementary and West Street Elementary averaged 30% in ELA, 23% in math, and 22% in science, putting Olive View behind by about 7, 7, and 14 points. Attendance is a more positive measure: chronic absenteeism was 8%, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 18%.
Results have diverged over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 2 points, but math fell 5 points and science fell 9; the state gap widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also declined from the 16th percentile to the 8th percentile, with 0 stars in 2025–26; among nearby schools with a reported ranking, only Gerber Elementary ranked lower. One relative bright spot in SchoolDigger’s group rankings is English Language Learner Students: the group ranked at the 36th percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 14th percentile that year, indicating stronger relative results for that group. Olive View’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 23.8, and 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. These measures offer context, not explanations for test results; the subgroup ranking series ends in 2023–24.
