Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 13203 zip code - Lincoln Middle School, which is part of the Syracuse City School District. This school has consistently low academic performance, ranking around 1,470-1,474 out of 1,500 New York middle schools over the past few years and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lincoln Middle School's academic proficiency rates are significantly below state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 90.25% in 2023-2024.
Despite the high spending per student at $27,702 for the 2023-2024 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, the academic outcomes at Lincoln Middle School are not reflecting these investments. The school's low ranking and 0-star rating suggest that it is one of the lower-performing middle schools in the state, and further investigation into the factors contributing to its poor performance would be necessary to improve educational outcomes for the students it serves.
