Education

Education is a top priority in Waterloo, where parents, businesses and educators work together to provide the best learning environment for the students.

The City of Waterloo provides excellent educational opportunities (public and parochial) for grades K-12 with extensive course offerings enhanced by the use of the latest technology.

Waterloo Community Unit School District #5 operates three elementary schools, a junior high and a high school. The parochial option includes grade school for K-8 at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Grade School and high school at Gibault Catholic High School.
