Corning-Painted Post High School

Summary:

Corning-Painted Post High School is a public high school located in Corning, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,463. The school is part of the Corning City School District, which is ranked 506 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Corning-Painted Post High School has consistently ranked in the top half of New York high schools, with strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, English, and Physics. However, the school's performance lags behind the state and district in some subjects, such as Living Environment and Algebra I. The school's four-year graduation rate ranges from 80.8% to 87.6%, which is generally on par with or slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 5.6% and 8.5%, which is higher than the state's average. One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased significantly from 24.7% in 2021-2022 to 27.5% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Haverling Senior High School, Watkins Glen Central High School, and Elmira High School, Corning-Painted Post High School generally outperforms them on academic measures. However, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate suggests a need for targeted interventions to address this issue. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian students consistently ranking in the top 25% of New York high schools, while other subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, perform below the state and district averages, indicating a need to address equity and inclusion challenges.

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.

The IB program does an excellent job of preparing students for the rigors of college. Both athletic and extracurricular activities offer students multiple opportunities to enrich their high school experiences. Close Quote

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.
