Summary:
The city of Corona, New York is home to 14 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population, with many facing significant economic challenges as indicated by high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
While some schools in the area, such as PS 92 Harry T Stewart Senior and Corona Arts And Sciences Academy, demonstrate relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding district and state averages in certain subjects and grade levels, other schools struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state. The High School For Arts And Business stands out for its strong Regents exam results and high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%.
The data suggests a need to further investigate the factors contributing to the wide disparities in performance across the schools in Corona, and to identify and scale effective practices from the higher-performing schools to support improvement throughout the district. The Our World Neighborhood Charter School 3, with its much lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district public schools, may provide insights into strategies for supporting student learning and achievement.
