I had 3 orange lazer and 2 something or others....lol they hung out together, mostly.
At one point I had a school of emerald cories and a school of bronze cories, back before I had an appropriate school of each they hung out together mostly. Once I got a good school of each they would mingle with each other on a regular basis but they didn’t school together as often as before.
Make of that what you wish.

One point to note here is that a school of corys in the wild is numbering towards or in the hundred mark. So when you ask will they school together, it's a different question really. Corys will hang out together until the groups get to a certain size, but even then, in the confines of a typical aquarium you will see them interacting. They have been shown to recognize their type, but still, there is safety in numbers.
From only my experience with three different groups of 10 in a 6*2*2 it was hard to tell any real schooling behaviour. They mainly were seen in sixes, max or mixed.I
