Corning City School District

Summary:

The Corning City School District in New York serves students from 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, with a total district enrollment of around 5,000 students. The district is ranked 501 out of 874 in the state and has an overall 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. Hugh W Gregg Elementary School and Frederick Carder Elementary School both rank in the top 30% and top 20% of New York elementary schools, respectively, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Winfield Street Elementary struggles, with lower proficiency scores. At the high school level, the small Corning Painted Post High School Learning Center stands out, ranking in the top 3% of New York high schools with a 100% proficiency rate on several Regents exams.

Across the district, there is significant variation in school performance, with some schools excelling while others face challenges. Factors like socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, appear to correlate with academic achievement. Additionally, the district grapples with high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly in the high schools, which may be contributing to lower graduation and proficiency rates. Overall, the Corning City School District has pockets of excellence but also areas in need of improvement to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
