The school consistently achieves proficiency rates of 60-70% in English Language Arts and Math, and spends $24,767 per student, which is higher than the district average. In contrast, Corning-Painted Post Middle School has struggled, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York middle schools for the past three years and performing below state and district averages on assessments.

The data also reveals interesting insights about the relationship between school funding, student demographics, and academic performance. Calvin U Smith Elementary School, which has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 42.41%, spends $28,899 per student, the highest among the schools in the data set. However, the school still performs well on state assessments, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as individualized attention, may play a role in student success. The alternative school in the area, Schuyler-Steuben-Chemung-Tioga-Allegany BOCES, has a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 3.1, which may contribute to its ability to serve a diverse student population.
