The main area to watch is fifth grade, where reading proficiency was 71% and science proficiency was 59%—still above state averages but lower than the school’s other results. Because the school and individual grade cohorts are relatively small, percentages may change noticeably from year to year. Overall, the available data portrays Lyme Elementary as an excellent K–8 option with strong achievement from elementary through middle-school grades.
