What stands out about Corning Union High

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +18.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing California's statewide +25.3% by 7.0 points, a growth rate faster than 26% of the 856 California districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 12.7% here, from 1,010 students in FY2019 to 1,138 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
