Summary:

Paideia School 24 is an elementary public magnet school located in Yonkers, NY, serving grades PK-6 with 304 students. Despite being part of the Yonkers City School District, which is ranked 645 out of 865 districts in New York, Paideia School 24 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current 2-star rating.

Paideia School 24 faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.45% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 35.47% for the district and 42.6% for the state. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with lower rankings for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students compared to state averages. However, the school performs relatively better for English Language Learners, ranking in the top 15% of New York elementary schools in this category.

Interestingly, Paideia School 24 performs poorly compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Yonkers City School District, such as Enrico Fermi School For The Performing Arts and School 23, both of which have higher test scores and rankings.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
