Summary:

The 14517 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, Dalton-Nunda Middle School, which serves grades 5-8.

Dalton-Nunda Middle School's proficiency rates range from 27.5% to 48.57% in ELA and 23.08% to 45.16% in Math, falling short of the state averages of 50.86% to 56.61% and 46.74% to 56.47%, respectively.

The Dalton-Nunda Central School District, which Dalton-Nunda Middle School is a part of, is ranked 683 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This declining performance over time, as evidenced by the school's drop in statewide ranking from 469 in 2014-2015 to 983 in 2024-2025, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. With 43.95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be a factor in its academic performance.
