Corona Arts And Sciences Academy

Summary:

Corona Arts And Sciences Academy is a public middle school located in Corona, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 740 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 528 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Corona Arts And Sciences Academy consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 21.92% for 6th grade to 35.64% for 8th grade, while the district and state averages were significantly higher. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York middle schools for male students and low socioeconomic status students in ELA and math. While the school performs better on Regents exams compared to state assessments, it still lags behind the district and state averages in subjects like Living Environment, U.S. History and Government, and Algebra I.

Nearby schools, such as PS 419, IS 5 Walter Crowley Intermediate School, and IS 61 Leonardo Da Vinci, generally outperform Corona Arts And Sciences Academy in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings among New York middle schools. The school's high percentage of students (over 97%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Despite increased per-student spending over the years, from $14,692 in 2019-2020 to $19,005 in 2022-2023, the school's academic outcomes have not improved significantly.

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.
