Summary

School 5 is an elementary school located in Yonkers, NY that serves grades PK-8 within the Yonkers City School District, which is ranked 663 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 568 students, School 5 has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

Academically, School 5 struggles, with proficiency rates on New York state assessments significantly lower than the Yonkers district and New York state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.3% of 3rd graders at School 5 were proficient in ELA, compared to 48.59% for the Yonkers district and 54.15% for New York state. The school also faces challenges in serving its diverse student population effectively, with rankings for various student subgroups all in the bottom half or bottom quarter of New York elementary schools. Additionally, School 5 has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.67% to 75.17% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools in the Yonkers district, such as Patricia A Dichiaro School and Paideia School 24, it becomes clear that School 5 is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Despite increased per-student spending and its status as a magnet school, School 5 has not shown consistent improvement in its academic performance or overall ranking over the years, remaining in the bottom half of New York elementary schools.
