Summary

Mlk Junior High Technical & Computer Magnet School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Yonkers, NY, part of the Yonkers City School District. With 453 students, the school is classified as a public magnet school, but it has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Math.

The school's performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income students performing much lower than their peers. Over the past 10 years, Mlk Junior High Technical & Computer Magnet School has ranked in the bottom 20-25% of elementary schools in New York, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite increased spending per student, from $14,025 in 2020-2021 to $26,295 in 2023-2024, the school has not shown consistent improvement in academic outcomes.

Several nearby schools, such as Pearls Hawthorne School and Eugenio Maria De Hostos Microsociety School, are significantly outperforming Mlk Junior High Technical & Computer Magnet School on state assessments and have higher SchoolDigger ratings, suggesting families in the area may have access to better-performing educational options. The school's declining enrollment, from 453 students in 2023-2024 to 453 students in 2024-2025, could lead to further funding and resource challenges.
