Summary

School 16 is a public magnet elementary school in Yonkers, NY that serves grades PK-8 and has 544 students. While the school spends significantly more per student than the district average, it consistently ranks in the bottom half of New York elementary schools and struggles to meet the needs of its diverse student population.

Academically, School 16 lags behind the Yonkers district and New York state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. The school's rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and low-income students are all in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, though it performs slightly better for African American students. This points to equity challenges in serving the school's high-need student population, of which 75.37% are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby magnet schools like Paideia School 24 and Museum School 25, School 16 generally performs worse academically despite its high per-student spending. This suggests the additional funding may not be translating into smaller class sizes or more individualized attention, as the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.6 is higher than the Yonkers City School District average.
