Across the three schools, key metrics and statistics stand out, such as the high test scores at Lyon County Middle School, the strong graduation and dropout rates at Lyon County High School, and the significant populations of students from low-income families at all three schools. While the Lyon County school district appears to be performing well overall, addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates could be an area of focus for the district to further enhance educational outcomes for all students in the 42038 area.
