Summary:

The city of Corning, New York is home to 6 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Corning City School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 501 out of 874 in New York and has a 2-star rating, several individual schools stand out for their exceptional performance.

Frederick Carder Elementary School and Hugh W Gregg Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the district, ranking in the top 20% and 15% of New York elementary schools respectively. Both schools have earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and boast impressive test scores, with over 80% proficiency in math. In contrast, Winfield Street Elementary School struggles, with under 40% proficiency on state assessments.

At the high school level, Corning-Painted Post High School and the smaller Corning Painted Post High School Learning Center both perform well, with 4-year graduation rates around 84% and low dropout rates. However, the district's elementary schools appear to outperform the high school on many metrics, suggesting a need to examine the transition from primary to secondary education.
