Summary

School 29 is an elementary school located in Yonkers, NY that serves grades PK-8 and has 610 students. It is part of the Yonkers City School District, which is ranked 663 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having significantly higher per-student spending of $38,167 compared to the district average of $28,421, School 29 has consistently underperformed the Yonkers City School District and the state of New York in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.69% of 3rd graders at School 29 were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.59% for the district and 54.15% for the state. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 suggests that resources are not the primary issue.

When compared to other schools in the Yonkers City School District, School 29 generally underperforms. However, the Casimir Pulaski School and Kahlil Gibran School have outperformed School 29 in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. Additionally, School 29 has shown some bright spots in the performance of certain student subgroups, such as African American students, who have outperformed their peers in the district and state.
