The school is the best, it actually got a blue ribbon award, the teachers are great, funny, and really challenge us. It is very easy to get in touch with them. It is almost a progressive school the way the classes are taught in the higher grades. It also has a really good special ed dept. There are really good sports teams that the 8th graders can participate in and the 8th graders can also take some academic classes in the high school. The facilities are great, there is a whole new sunny wing with big lockers. The pool isn't disgusting anymore, in fact, they just renovated the pool and locker rooms and they are AMAZING! There are laptops for everyone and smart boards in every math, science, social studies, english, and language classroom. All of the people are nice, no snobby people that you usually find in Westchester.

Because the teachers care about their students and push them to their fullest potential!

I love my school. The pool could use a little improvement. The teachers are super nice and attentive. They care about my grades and help me if I have a question. I wouldent go to a different school if I had a choice.

Both staff and parents are very involved in the school. The are very high on discipline but also support your child with their needs. The only problem I have is you can have an up hill battle obtaining extra help for your child, which might be because many parents are looking for this help. Sports are great but Yorktown does not place an emphasis on it over education. Very well run.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
