Summary:
Lisbon, New Hampshire, is a small community served by three public schools in the Lisbon Regional School District, covering grades prekindergarten through 12 with about 266 students total. The schools are unusually small, which can support close relationships but may also make year-to-year test results more variable. Districtwide, schools rank around the middle of New Hampshire, at the 48th percentile.
The strongest overall performer is Lisbon Regional School (High), ranked in the 61st percentile statewide. It has the district’s best ranking, a 0% reported dropout rate, strong science results, and reading performance near the state average. However, mathematics is a significant weakness: only 19% of students were proficient, compared with 44% statewide, and the graduation rate of 77.7% trails the state rate. Lisbon Regional School (Elem) has shown the most impressive recent improvement, rising from the 19th to the 58th percentile over three years. It also leads the district in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates above statewide averages in both subjects.
Lisbon Regional School (Middle) ranks lowest among the three schools, at the 39th percentile, though its reading and science results are close to or slightly above state averages and its scores improved from the previous year. Mathematics is the primary concern across the district, especially in Grades 7–12: middle-school proficiency is 27%, while high-school proficiency is 19%. Fourth-grade reading and mathematics and seventh-grade mathematics also deserve focused support. Overall, Lisbon’s schools show clear strengths in reading, science, small class environments, and elementary improvement, while secondary mathematics and graduation outcomes remain the most important areas to monitor.
