Summary:
The city of Corning, Ohio is home to two schools: Millcreek Elementary School and Miller High School, both of which serve students in the Southern Local district. While the schools share some similarities, such as a high percentage of white students, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and student engagement.
Millcreek Elementary School has consistently low proficiency rates on state tests, with scores below the state average in most subjects and grade levels. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29%, which may be contributing to its overall low ranking among Ohio elementary schools. In contrast, Miller High School boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 95.9%, but also faces a significant chronic absenteeism issue, with a rate of 44.6% in the 2023-2024 school year.
While Miller High School has a mixed academic performance, with some subject areas performing better than the state average and others significantly worse, both schools consistently rank in the middle to lower third among their respective school types in Ohio. This suggests a need for significant improvement in academic outcomes across the district. Additionally, the racial homogeneity of the schools, with over 95% of students being white, may be an area of concern and could impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students.
