The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've been in YMHS since I was in seventh grade. I am now a senior, and I can say that being in this school has definitely been an experience. The academics part of the school can be quite tough at times. However, I think that this is a good thing so that we can all be prepared for college. This is especially seen with the IB program. The best part of my high school experience are all of the fun activities that the school has. I think that this lets us have fun apart from all the hard work that we do academically. I would like to see a change in the safety. There have been multiple instances where I think that the safety is breached.

My overall experience with Yonkers middle high school has been amazing, well minus some issues. Such as the staff not being able to control the middle schoolers and letting them go wild. I also don't like how they make us wait 10 minutes before opening the bathroom and sometimes not even opening the girls bathroom at all. While the boys bathroom is always open.

Yonkers Middle High School was a fun and educational experience for me. There were some obstacles I had to face, some academic, some not, that i was able to surpass. Overall, i enjoyed my experience because my time there made me grow as a person.

However it desperately needs more funding as a minority school the state does not give much aid and as a result we sometimes have to cut corners, yet...

This school is amazing. It deserves a higher score. The teachers in the IB Programme are dedicated and knowledgeable and you come away being very prepared for college. As a recent college graduate I can say that a lot of the students in my class were ill prepared for college and complained constantl...

My high school experience here was pretty good, coming from someone who just graduated two weeks ago. You will not find as much diversity in any other high school than you would in Yonkers Middle. It could be a lot better though. The school could be cleaner, the lunch could be edible, and the math d...
