Corning High

Summary:

Corning High is a public high school located in Corning, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,031 students. The school is part of the Corning Union High School District, which is ranked 1326 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Corning High has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.2% to 98.7% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the graduation rates of the nearby schools in the same district, such as Hamilton High and Orland High. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 9.7% in 2018-2019 to 30.9% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average and the nearby schools in the same district. Additionally, Corning High's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state averages and the scores of the nearby schools.

Corning High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 930 out of 1290 California high schools in 2020-2021 to 1255 out of 2323 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the state. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 73.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to the school's overall lower performance. Corning High needs to implement targeted strategies to address the needs of its diverse student population and improve overall academic achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
