While the Waterloo Local schools generally perform above the state average in most subject areas, there are some areas for improvement. The district's student population is predominantly white, raising questions about equity and access to educational opportunities for minority students. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the elementary and high schools suggest potential socioeconomic challenges that may impact student performance. The district may also benefit from addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level, and exploring strategies to support student attendance and engagement.
