Summary:

There is only one middle school located in the 50707 zip code - Bunger Middle School, which is part of the Waterloo Community School District. Bunger Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 277 out of 334 Iowa middle schools in 2022-2023 to 310 out of 344 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces several challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 21.6% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year. Student test scores at Bunger Middle School are generally lower than district and state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 41.3% of 6th graders were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 55.1% and 58.2% for the district, and 72.8% and 71.8% for the state, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 73.77% in 2023-2024.

Despite these challenges, Bunger Middle School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. However, further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's performance and identify areas for improvement and support.
