Summary

Yonkers Middle School is a public magnet middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Yonkers City School District, with 569 students. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, a closer look reveals some interesting insights.

Academically, Yonkers Middle School's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 50.22% of 7th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 47.16% for the district and 50.99% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with White students performing the best and special education students and homeless students ranking in the bottom 20% of New York middle schools. Despite spending significantly more per student ($25,622 in 2023-2024) than the district and state averages, the school has not been able to translate this into higher academic achievement.

When compared to nearby schools, Yonkers Middle School generally performs worse, especially compared to high-performing schools like Bronxville Middle School. This suggests the school may have room for improvement in adopting best practices from its higher-performing peers. Additionally, Yonkers Middle School's ranking and test scores have generally declined over the past several years, going from a 2-star to 1-star rating, indicating the school may be struggling to improve student outcomes.
