Summary

Robert C Dodson School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Yonkers City School District in New York, with 724 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, receiving 1-2 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger for most years.

Robert C Dodson School faces significant challenges in student academic performance, particularly in comparison to nearby higher-performing schools. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments for English Language Arts and Math are consistently lower than the Yonkers City School District and New York state averages, with especially low performance in 5th and 8th grade ELA and 5th grade Math. The school's high poverty rate, with 78-86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these achievement gaps.

Interestingly, Paideia School 15, Kahlil Gibran School, and Casimir Pulaski School, which are located within 1 mile of Robert C Dodson School, significantly outperform the school on state assessments, with proficiency rates 10-30 percentage points higher across grade levels and subjects. The school's declining performance over time, in contrast with the improving performance of the Yonkers City School District as a whole, suggests that targeted interventions may be needed to address the unique challenges facing Robert C Dodson School.
