Summary:

There is one middle school in the Lisbon 19 district, Lisbon Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 8 with 197 students in Lisbon, ND.

Lisbon Middle School presents a complex picture. It was a top-tier performer just two years ago, ranking 5th in the state, but its state ranking dropped dramatically to 37th out of 59 schools in the most recent year. Despite this, the school's overall math proficiency (49%) remains above the state average (41%), suggesting the ranking decline is due to other schools improving faster rather than a collapse in performance. A key strength is the school's very low chronic absenteeism rate of 7%, which is nearly three times better than the state average of 20%, indicating strong student engagement. The school also invests significant resources with a 12:1 student-teacher ratio and $12,681 in spending per student.

However, the data reveals critical academic challenges. Science proficiency is a clear weakness at 29%, well below the state average of 38%. There is also a fascinating split between subjects by grade level: math proficiency drops sharply from 59% in 5th grade to 39% in 8th grade, while reading proficiency climbs from just 24% in 5th grade to 49% in 8th grade. This suggests math instruction may need attention in later grades, while reading interventions are working well for older students. The 5th-grade reading score of 24% is a major area of concern that requires immediate focus.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.
