Yonkers Montessori Academy

Summary:

Yonkers Montessori Academy is a public magnet school serving grades PK-12 in the Yonkers City School District, with 1,261 students. This sizable school consistently outperforms the district and state on academic measures, despite serving a more economically disadvantaged student population.

Yonkers Montessori Academy's academic performance is impressive, with ELA and math scores 2-15 percentage points higher than the district across grades 3-8, and significantly higher proficiency rates on Regents exams like Algebra II, Chemistry, and Global History compared to the district and state. While the school spends $20,769 per student, which is higher than the district average, it achieves these strong results with a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.8 compared to some nearby specialized schools like PS 10, Pharos Academy Charter School, and Success Academy Charter School-Bronx 3.

However, the school faces challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 34.1% to 55.3% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 67.88-68.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the state average. Despite these obstacles, Yonkers Montessori Academy has maintained its strong academic performance, suggesting the school is effectively serving its students and providing a quality education.

Data source: test scores: NY State Education Department, rankings: SchoolDigger.com

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.

Great for students who are used to Montessori education, but not a good school to transfer to from non-Montessori, unless your kid is a real self-starter. Close Quote

I feel the teachers are excellent. I love the mix of different grades and I feel the teachers demand more from their students. I love it. Close Quote

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.
