Summary

Corning Independent Study is a small public high school in Corning, California, serving 29 students in grades 9–12 in the Corning Union High district. In 2025–2026, its reported proficiency was 0% in English language arts, math and science, compared with 49% statewide in English language arts, 38% in math and 36% in science. The most important finding for families is that the school’s reported results were at the bottom of the local comparison in all three subjects.

There is no subject in which the school’s current results approach the state or nearby-school averages. English language arts is its weakest comparison with the state: the gap was 49 percentage points, and the nearby-school average was 31%. In math, the school was 6 points below its district, the smallest district gap among the three subjects, but 38 points below the state and 14 points below the nearby average. Science was 36 points below the state and 18 points below the district; it was also below every nearby school with a reported score, against a nearby average of 20%. The school tied the lowest reported nearby results in English language arts and math.

Results have not gained ground on the state across the two reported years: English language arts fell from 19% in 2023–2024 to 0% in 2025–2026, science fell from 6% to 0%, and math remained at 0% while the state improved. No school score was reported for 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranked the school 2,136th of 2,137 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 0th percentile with 0 stars; its standing fell from the 14th percentile in 2023–2024. There are some encouraging signs: chronic absenteeism declined from 65% in 2023–2024 to 39% in 2025–2026, though that latest rate was 21 percentage points above the district and state. The student-teacher ratio was 20.1 in 2024–2025, higher than the nearby average of 16.4. That year, 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Graduation rates varied: 95% in 2021–2022, then 77% in 2022–2023.
