Summary

School 17 is an elementary school in the Yonkers City School District in Yonkers, New York, serving grades PK-6 with 327 students. While the school outperforms the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, its overall statewide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting it is struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

School 17 has some bright spots, particularly in its performance for certain student subgroups. It ranks highly for African American students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, indicating the school is effectively serving these populations. However, there are significant disparities in performance between different student groups, with the school's ranking for male students much lower than for female students, and the ranking for White students lower than for other racial/ethnic groups.

Compared to nearby schools in the Yonkers City School District, Mlk Junior High Technical & Computer Magnet School and Rosemarie Ann Siragusa School generally perform worse than School 17, while Patricia A Dichiaro School and School 30 outperform it. Additionally, the significant increase in spending per student at School 17 over the past few years does not appear to have translated into commensurate improvements in overall academic performance, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.

My child attends this school and so far I am not pleased. The teachers and staff don't communicate with the parents when they have a concern with the child. Instead they go straight to calling CPS. I took my child to the dentist. The dentist did work. The next day I gave my child tylenol just in case of any discomfort. I send her to school. My child had a little bit of discomfort instead of calling me and asking me of their concerns. The school right away called CPS instead of at least asking me. My child goes to school clean, dress properly, comb, homework always done. Everything in order. Yet teacher, principal, nurse, staff cannot communicate. They think calling CPS and having a full blown investigation at my home for 3 hours right after getting home from work, tired. It's the first and proper way to handle situations. Ridiculous. Be very careful placing your child in this school. You might have CPS knocking at your door for no good reason. All because the staff is not bright enough to at least ask the parent first of any concern they might have. Close Quote
