Summary

Paideia School 24 is an elementary public magnet school in Yonkers, NY, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 301 students. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for grades 3-5 and math proficiency in grades 4 and 6, but lower performance in other grade levels and subjects compared to the Yonkers City School District and New York state averages.

Paideia School 24's English Language Learner (ELL) students have consistently performed well, ranking in the top 4 out of 5 stars in the state. However, the school's performance for other student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, has been more mixed, with rankings ranging from 1 to 3 stars. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.8% to 70.36%, indicating a relatively high-need student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the Yonkers City School District, Paideia School 24 generally performs better academically, particularly in ELA and math proficiency rates. However, the school's overall ranking among New York elementary schools remains in the lower half, suggesting the need for continued focus on improving student outcomes. The school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending and improvement in student-teacher ratio, which may help support student learning, but it will be important to monitor how these resources translate into improved academic performance.
