Summary

Lisbon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 221 students in grades PK-4 in Lisbon, North Dakota, which is part of the Lisbon 19 school district. This school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in math, reading, and science proficiency, ranking 47th out of 216 schools statewide in 2024-2025.

While Lisbon Elementary School has shown steady improvement over the past 10 years, it faces some challenges. The school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4% in 2022-2023 to 20% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school struggles to support its growing low-income student population, with the percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients more than doubling from 13.69% in 2021-2022 to 27.15% in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby schools like Milnor Elementary and North Sargent Elementary, which have lower test scores and rankings, Lisbon Elementary stands out as a high performer. However, Enderlin Area Elementary is also a strong performer, suggesting Lisbon has room for further improvement.

Overall, Lisbon Elementary School is a strong-performing elementary school that has shown steady improvement over time. However, the school faces challenges with rising chronic absenteeism and supporting its growing low-income student population. Continued focus on targeted interventions and resource allocation will be crucial for the school to maintain and build upon its successes.

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.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

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.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
