Yonkers High is a great school where students can come and expect to learn a lot! Most of the teachers here are great at what they do and can provide and enjoyable learning experience to the students. Of course, there are still a lot of areas in which this school can improve! Like I said, there are many great teachers, however, there are little too many terrible teachers that teach here. I would like to see that more qualified teachers are hired to replace these teachers who have received complaints from multiple students. Furthermore, the arts in the school is very underfunded and lacks the time and space, as well as resources it needs. Arts is very important, but it does seem to take a certain priority at this school.
Again, the school is still one of the best in the area despite these few concerns. I wouldn't have chosen to go to any other school in the area and I stick by that decision. I love this school as it has a very diverse and loving community where everyone can fit in!

Yonkers High School has the International baccalaureate (IB) program which can be very helpful if you don't go full IB. If you do, consider this: besides all the classes you are taking, there are a 4,000 word essay and a internal assessment (IA) for each class. There is also an extra class you have to take: Theory of Knowledge (TOK), there's also an essay for that. And CAS hours (volunteer). This was not told to me before I went full IB. But it definitely prepares you for the hard work college has to offer.
Besides that, the school has many clubs and a lot of events (GALA- international dance, pep rally, talent show, spirit weeks, movie nights).

Yonkers High school offered me the best four years of my life. The diversity and ambition of my teachers caught my eye forthwith. With a plethora of clubs and activities, it was easy for me to get involved. The rigor of the courses, I felt, would ameliorate my knowledge in order to perform in college and the outside world. With the choice of IB classes, it allows one to grow independent and responsible as I did from junior and senior year. The teachers are caring and willing to help no matter the circumstance. The level of diversities is outstanding and this is well expressed at our schools annual gala event. I participated on this two years straight and was able to develop my insight on cultures I never knew of. The administration's kind heart profoundly loves student involvement and works efficiently at making sure we are safe and love our school. One thing I would love to see changed is safety. I would admire us bringing in more security. The school on a whole, is like no other!
