Summary:

The 13209 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, Solvay Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Solvay Union Free School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the state average, its academic performance has been a concern, with declining statewide rankings and proficiency rates below the state average on New York state assessments.

Solvay Middle School's statewide ranking has dropped from 1069 out of 1500 New York middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1154 out of 1500 in 2024-2025, despite maintaining a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all below the state average across all grade levels. However, Solvay Middle School students excel on Regents exams, with 95.24% proficiency in Algebra I and 92.86% proficiency in Life Science Biology in 2024-2025.

The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 61.64%. Despite the school's investment in resources, such as smaller class sizes and higher spending per student, the academic challenges faced by Solvay Middle School suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance.
