The school also spends more per student ($30,938) and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Riverside High School struggles to meet the district and state averages on most Regents exams, with particularly low proficiency rates in Earth Science, Living Environment, and Algebra I.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 31.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the Yonkers City School District, which both schools belong to, is a lower-performing district overall, ranking 663 out of 874 in New York.
