I genuinely love my school! Yonkers Middle/High School is an excellent school, it challenges the students to expand their knowledge, and the teachers are consistently there to help benefit the students. The teachers prepare, the students to become diligent students. Nonetheless, Yonkers High is also commonly known for it's IB curriculum but also holds AP classes. The diversity in the school is incredible. In addition; there are multitudes of clubs, and activities held here at Yonkers High, for example, the Ace Club, the Key Club, and furthermore. The food and sports here aren't quite the best, however, the resources given to the students is exceptional. Parent involvement is as easy as involving the students, however, Yonkers High School is a place where teachers, facilities, and students all strive for the best.
Yonkers High School is one of the most diverse communities and has students for various backgrounds and cultures in a mixed environment. It benefits the students’ education and exposes everyone to different ideas, opinions, and experiences. However, the school seems to be struggling as a new middle school grade has been added with causes a lot of struggle in the school and tension in the students. The school is also very underfunded which is disappointing as there’s so much potential in the kids, the school struggles with what they barely have and this causes daily problems with the staff administration and students.
Yonkers High School is a great and diverse school to attend. The variety of classes they offer along with the IB programme allows students to explore different subjects and enjoy what they're learning. The teachers are honestly the best part, as many of them are great people who genuinely care for their student's success and actively try to be great role models. The school, however, has its cons with it being overpopulated and a rowdy middle school program. Yonkers High is also extremely underfunded, and its direction is question. Overall, Yonkers is a very good school.
