Summary:

The 72422 zip code area is home to 3 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades: Park Elementary School, Corning Middle School, and Corning High School. These schools, part of the Corning School District, show a mix of strengths and areas for improvement based on their performance data.

Park Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, ranking 260 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms state and district averages in several subjects, including English Language Arts, Reading, and Science. In contrast, Corning Middle School struggles in Mathematics, with 8th-grade students performing significantly below state and district averages, despite the school's strong performance in English Language Arts. Corning High School also shows mixed results, excelling in 10th-grade English Language Arts and Reading but having very low proficiency rates in Algebra and Geometry.

Across the schools, a common theme is the high percentage of students (around 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This demographic factor may contribute to the schools' performance challenges, particularly in subjects like Mathematics. Overall, the data suggests opportunities for improvement in areas like Mathematics and STEM-related subjects, while also highlighting the schools' strengths in English Language Arts and Reading.
