Summary

West Street Elementary is a K–6 school in Corning, California, with 324 students. In 2025–2026, about 32% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 20% in math and 22% in science. The school was above Corning Union Elementary in all three subjects, but below California in each: its leads over the district were 5 points in ELA, 1 point in math and 7 points in science, while it trailed the state by 18, 18 and 14 points, respectively. The most important takeaway is that results beat the district’s, but remain well below state proficiency—especially in math.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to both the district and state, while ELA is its clearest strength against nearby K–6 schools. ELA proficiency was higher than at Woodson Elementary (28%) and Olive View Elementary (23%). Results differ by grade: grade 5 ELA was 35%, above Woodson’s 25% and Olive View’s 28%, and 6 points above the district. Grade 4 math is a concern: 16% were proficient, compared with 26% in the district and 42% statewide, as well as 36% at Woodson and 26% at Olive View.

ELA proficiency rose 9 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and its gap with the state narrowed by 7 points. Math fell 1 point overall after an earlier rise, while science increased 4 points but its state gap widened by 1 point. SchoolDigger rates West Street at the 20th percentile statewide with 1 star; it is fourth-lowest among ten nearby schools with reported rankings.
