SCHOOL 17 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the YONKERS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in YONKERS, NY with about 449 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 26 teachers, SCHOOL 17 has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1.
