Summary

Yorkville Community School is an exceptional elementary school in New York City's District 2, serving 344 students in grades PK-5. The school has consistently ranked in the top 20% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, earning a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yorkville Community School's students consistently outperform their peers in District 2 and across New York state on the state's English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71.79% of 3rd graders, 66.67% of 4th graders, and 79.07% of 5th graders scored proficient or better on the ELA assessment, compared to 79.55%, 77.56%, and 81.12% in District 2, and 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61% statewide. The school's performance is notably stronger than that of nearby public schools like PS 198 Isador E Ida Straus and PS 77 Lower Lab School, which also serve District 2.

Yorkville Community School's success can be attributed to several factors, including higher per-student spending, a relatively low student-teacher ratio, and strong performance across student subgroups. While it faces competition from nearby high-achieving public and charter schools like Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 3, Yorkville Community School remains a standout educational institution in New York City, consistently delivering exceptional academic outcomes for its students.
