    I think Corning is a very good school! I has lots of positive aspects such as the athletics teams, facilities, continuously updating classrooms, and the academic opportunities. I feel that I am lucky to attend this school and I very much appreciate all of the wonderful opportunities it gives me. I would also say that Corning is a very competitive school and they take athletics and academics seriously. They offer many challenging courses and the IB classes are very tough. Another positive aspect of the school is it’s clubs and activities. There are so many different clubs that it would be impossible for someone to not be able to get involved in some extracurricular activity through the school.

    C-PPHS has great faculty and staff. Your teachers want to see their students succeed and give ample opportunities for students to get help. It always felt like a safe and accepting environment. The school itself is very modern, updated/renovated and equipped with above average technology and resources. Very clean and elegant. There are also an abundance of amazing opportunities/programs offered at Corning-Painted Post High school. Throughout my 4 years there, I had an overall positive experience in a district with above average offerings.
    Corning Painted Post High School offers many opportunities that students should take advantage of, like internships, BOCES programs, and STEM programs. The campus is both modern and renovated, making it a clean safe environment for education. The school provides paths for struggling students to improve academically and socially.

    I wish to see more compromising between the students and the administration. With more freedom in the students' hands, more can be done to promote individualism and independence.
