School 9

Summary:

School 9 is an elementary school in Yonkers, NY that serves grades PK-6. With 258 students, it is a public magnet school within the Yonkers City School District, which is ranked 645 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending, which has risen from $16,096 in 2019-2020 to $27,162 in 2022-2023, School 9 consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools based on state assessment scores. Its proficiency rates on state ELA and math assessments are significantly below the Yonkers district and New York state averages across all grade levels. The school also has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 87-93% qualifying for free/reduced lunch over the past few years.

When compared to other magnet schools in the Yonkers district, such as Mlk Junior High Technical & Computer Magnet School and Paideia School 24, School 9 lags behind in both academic performance and student demographics. This suggests the magnet school model may be more successful at some schools than others, and that addressing the challenges at School 9 will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement.

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.
