GreatSchools Rating
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.

It is a standard school. Occasionally, I feel unseen but generally it is a good high school. I can't complain much.

Yonkers high is very focused on academics rather than sports. They encourage the students to do better each year and post dates on deadlines on payments or scholarships. The teachers are always there for the kids and the guidance counselors are somewhat available but they are there when you need them most.

My experience at Yonkers High School was like no other. I have created many unforgettable memories at this school. The best part of my experience was that I got to meet so many new people with new personalities. I have made many friends. I also learned so much at this school , not only in relation to academics but also outside of the curriculum. The worst part of the experience was that there is a lot of pressure to do good in this school as the district views this school as one of the best.

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...
