Summary:
The Lisbon Regional School District has one listed middle school, Lisbon Regional School (Middle), serving grades 6–8 in Lisbon, New Hampshire. The school enrolls 76 students, reports a 9:1 student–teacher ratio, and serves a small community with 42.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academic results are mixed, with reading as the clearest strength and mathematics as the main concern. In 2025–2026, 56% of students were proficient in reading, slightly above both the district and state rates of 55%. Seventh-grade reading was especially strong at 61%, exceeding the state by four percentage points. Science proficiency was 39%, one point above the state, while eighth-grade science reached 39%, compared with 37% statewide. Mathematics performance was much weaker: 27% of students were proficient, 17 points below the state and seven points below the district. Grade-level results show a sharp drop from sixth-grade mathematics, at 42%, to seventh grade, at only 21%; eighth grade improved to 28% but remained below the state.
Recent trends provide some encouragement. Reading proficiency rose 15 percentage points from the prior year, and science increased 11 points, while mathematics improved only one point. The school’s ranking also rebounded from 102nd of 132 schools and the 23rd percentile in 2024–2025 to 84th of 138 and the 39th percentile in 2025–2026, although its two-star rating remains below the midpoint of ranked schools. For parents, the key takeaway is that this is a small school with favorable staffing levels and solid or improving reading and science results, but mathematics—particularly the transition into seventh grade—deserves close attention. Small enrollment also means that a limited number of students can significantly affect yearly percentages.
