As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

This school uses the Montessori Curriculum which combines grades but is abused with a large class size (District is well aware and uses the montessori method as as excuse.) If you actually research the schools ranking and test scores you will see how poorly they compare in Westchester and even to other schools in Yonkers. Administration within this school really needs to improve this, it is insulting to the children. The front office gave an attitude most of the time, only one young hispanic lady was kind, smiling and very sweet to the children. I saw many things in this school I shouldn't have in regards to school aides not being patient or compassionate to preschoolers at the start of the school year. You would think kindness to those who can't speak up would be obvious. At my child's new school the attitude and friendliness is subpar. I am so happy I took my child out of this school. I hope this future year is different for those starting or continuing there... Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
