Summary:
Corning-Painted Post Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Corning City School District in Painted Post, New York, with a student population of 962 and a predominantly White (87.42%) racial makeup.
While the school spends a relatively high $14,498 per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.8 compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has consistently underperformed the state average in New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were 28.62% in 6th grade ELA, 33.13% in 7th grade ELA, and 38.19% in 8th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 45.82%, 48%, and 55.2%, respectively. Similarly, in Math, the school's proficiency rates were 24.29% in 6th grade, 40.06% in 7th grade, and only 5.59% in 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 48.07%, 51.94%, and 40.74%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students performing relatively better, while White, African American, and students with special needs or low socioeconomic status perform significantly lower.
Compared to the nearby middle schools, such as Dana L Lyon Middle School, Ernie Davis Academy, Horseheads Intermediate School, and Horseheads Middle School, Corning-Painted Post Middle School generally performs better than the first two but lags behind the performance of the latter two schools, which are in the Horseheads Central School District. The school's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 727 out of 1,455 New York middle schools in 2016-2017 to 1,254 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023, suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by its underperforming student subgroups.
