Summary

Lisbon Middle School is a public middle school in Lisbon, North Dakota, serving 185 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Lisbon 19 School District, which is ranked 42 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lisbon Middle School has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in North Dakota, with proficiency rates in Math (49%) and Reading (40.5%) exceeding the state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's Science proficiency rates (29%) were lower than the district (44%) and state (38%) averages. The school's performance varies across grade levels, with 5th and 6th graders outperforming the state in Math, while 8th graders underperformed in both Math and Reading.

While Lisbon Middle School has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, this percentage has been steadily increasing, indicating a potential rise in the number of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7% to 20% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state's average. The school's low student-teacher ratio and increasing per-student spending suggest a commitment to providing adequate resources and support for students, but addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a focus area for the school and district.

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.
