Summary:

The 13165 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, Waterloo Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. As the only middle school option in the area, Waterloo Middle School's performance is crucial for the educational outcomes of local students.

Waterloo Middle School is part of the Waterloo Central School District, which is ranked 783 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 1356 out of 1500 New York middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1312 out of 1500 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating. Academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York state assessments, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, which could be an asset if the resources are being used effectively to support student learning. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (57.93% in 2023-2024) indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles. Overall, Waterloo Middle School faces significant challenges and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve outcomes for its students.
