The student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 is lower than the national average, allowing for more individualized attention. Year-over-year performance fluctuations, such as 4th grade math jumping from 68.75% to 90.91%, highlight the impact of small class sizes where a few students can skew results, making multi-year trends more reliable than single-year data. Overall, Yorktown Elementary offers a strong, well-rounded education with notable math and science achievements, though reading consistency remains an area for growth.
