Summary

Cross Hill Academy is a public middle school in Yonkers, New York, serving grades 3-8 with a total enrollment of 339 students. The school is part of the Yonkers City School District, which is ranked 663 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending, Cross Hill Academy consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,040 and 1,329 out of around 1,500 middle schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the Yonkers district and New York state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students performing significantly worse than their peers.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, Cross Hill Academy's performance is significantly lower. For example, Yonkers Middle School, which is also part of the Yonkers district, outperforms Cross Hill Academy on state assessments and has a higher statewide ranking. Similarly, middle schools in the neighboring Eastchester, Tuckahoe, and Dobbs Ferry districts significantly outperform Cross Hill Academy. The high poverty rates and the school's low overall performance suggest that Cross Hill Academy may be facing significant challenges related to student socioeconomic status, access to resources, and other factors that can impact academic achievement.
