Las Hermanas Mirabal Community School

Summary:

Las Hermanas Mirabal Community School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Yonkers City School District, with 608 students. Despite being a public magnet school, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.05% to 44.26% in math and 22.03% to 41.38% in English Language Arts across different grade levels - significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools for these groups. Additionally, the school has very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.85% to 89.69% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When comparing Las Hermanas Mirabal Community School to other nearby schools in the Yonkers City School District, such as Pearls Hawthorne School and Montessori School 27, which are also public magnet schools, it becomes clear that Las Hermanas Mirabal Community School is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Despite increased spending and fluctuations in student-teacher ratio, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past decade, indicating a need for more comprehensive interventions and support to address the systemic challenges faced by this high-poverty, low-performing school.

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.
