Summary:
The 10710 zip code area of Yonkers, New York is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Yonkers City School District. While the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, there are notable differences in their academic performance and outcomes.
Two elementary schools stand out as high-performers: Kahlil Gibran School and School 29. Kahlil Gibran ranks in the top third of New York elementary schools and earns 3 out of 5 stars, with over 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math. Similarly, School 29 also ranks in the top half of the state and has particularly strong 3rd and 5th grade test scores. In contrast, other schools like Robert C Dodson School struggle, with 3rd grade Math proficiency as low as 34.57%.
The high school in the area, Roosevelt High School - Early College Studies, has a respectable 84.2% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, but the district as a whole ranks in the bottom half of New York, suggesting systemic challenges that impact all the schools. Addressing the significant disparities in student outcomes, which appear linked to socioeconomic factors, will require a comprehensive approach to support the neediest schools and students in the 10710 zip code.
