Middle Schools in Lisbon Public Schools

Summary:

Lisbon Public Schools has only one middle school, Philip W Sugg Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 26th out of 96 Maine middle schools in 2022-2023 to 51st out of 91 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Philip W Sugg Middle School's proficiency rates on state assessments are mixed. In English Language Arts, the school outperforms the Lisbon Public Schools district and the state average. However, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate is lower than both the district and state averages. The school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024, which is a concern.

Despite these challenges, Philip W Sugg Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 in 2023-2024. However, the school serves a population with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (33.22% in 2023-2024), which may contribute to the academic performance and attendance issues. The school and district should focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of these challenges to improve student outcomes.
