Summary:
The 10704 zip code area in Yonkers, New York is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary to high school, all part of the Yonkers City School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 649 out of 866 in New York and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in this area stand out in their performance.
Yonkers Montessori Academy, an alternative school, is the top performer with the highest graduation rate (76.5%) and lowest dropout rate (3%) among the schools. Its test scores are also generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in math and science Regents exams. In contrast, Lincoln High School has a relatively strong graduation rate of 89.6% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%, but its test scores are mixed, with some Regents exams above the district average and others below.
The schools in this area serve predominantly low-income and minority communities, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (67.88% to 90.21%) and diverse racial demographics. This raises concerns about equity and access to quality education within the Yonkers City School District. Additionally, all the schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 43.7% to 57.8%, which likely contributes to the overall academic challenges faced by these schools. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios may also indicate differences in the level of resources and funding available to the schools, which could be a factor in the performance gaps observed.
