Middle Schools in Waterloo Central School District

Summary:

The Waterloo Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Waterloo Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently scores well below the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

Waterloo Middle School is ranked 1312 out of 1500 New York middle schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the 8th-grade math proficiency rate was just 17%, compared to the state average of 46.74%. The school also has a high percentage of students (57.93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economic challenge for the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $26,991, the school's academic outcomes remain poor.

While the school's small student-teacher ratio of 9.9 could be a potential strength, it does not appear to be translating into better academic results for the students. The data suggests that Waterloo Middle School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student success.
