Summary

Heim Middle School is a high-performing public middle school located in Williamsville, NY, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 603 students. As part of the Williamsville Central School District, which is ranked 127 out of 874 school districts in New York, Heim Middle School consistently ranks in the top 25% of New York middle schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heim Middle School's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly higher than the state averages, often exceeding the district's performance as well. The school's proficiency rates in Regents exams, such as Earth Science and Algebra I, are also exceptionally high, with 95.38% and 100% proficiency, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's Asian student population has struggled, ranking in the bottom 50% of New York middle schools for this subgroup, while the male students and multi-racial students have performed exceptionally well.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Herbert Hoover Middle School and North Tonawanda Middle School, Heim Middle School significantly outperforms these schools in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. This difference in performance is likely due to the higher socioeconomic status and resource allocation in the Williamsville Central School District.
