Summary

William Boyce Thompson School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Yonkers City School District in New York, with 373 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

William Boyce Thompson School has faced significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming the Yonkers City School District and New York state averages on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.43% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA compared to 49.85% in the district and 56.61% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

Interestingly, the school has significantly higher per-student spending compared to the district and state averages, but this higher spending does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes. Additionally, when compared to other nearby schools in the Yonkers district, such as Paideia School 24, William Boyce Thompson School generally underperforms on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. These findings suggest that the school may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed, and that investigating the practices of higher-performing nearby schools could provide valuable insights for improvement.
