The Yorktown Central School District is a high-performing school system in New York, comprising 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Yorktown High School is the district's flagship, boasting a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranking among the top 32 high schools in New York. The school's impressive 96.2% four-year graduation rate and low 1.0% dropout rate are a testament to its academic excellence. Meanwhile, Mildred E. Strang Middle School stands out with a 4-star rating and strong academic performance, with 65% or more of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.

The district as a whole performs significantly better than the state average on New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 63% to 90% across different grade levels and subjects. Brookside School is particularly noteworthy, with the highest proficiency rates in 3rd-grade English Language Arts (74.56%) and Math (80%) among the elementary schools. However, the district's predominantly white student population and relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggest potential equity and access challenges that warrant further investigation.
