School 9

Public, Magnet Grades

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.
