Summary:
ZIP code 03585 has one middle school, Lisbon Regional School (Middle), serving grades 6–8 in Lisbon, New Hampshire. The small school enrolls 76 students and has a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, which may support more individual attention but can also make yearly results change noticeably when only a few students improve or struggle. About 42% of students participate in the free or reduced-price lunch program. The school is part of the Lisbon Regional School District, ranked 87th of 166 districts statewide, at the 48th percentile with a 2-star rating.
Academic results are mixed, with reading standing out as the school’s strongest area. In 2025–2026, 56% of students were proficient in reading, slightly above both the district and state rates. Seventh-grade reading was especially strong at 61%, four points above the state. Science proficiency was 39%, also one point above the state, and improved substantially from 28% the previous year. Mathematics is the main concern: only 27% of students were proficient, compared with 34% in the district and 44% statewide. Math increased just one point from the prior year, so it remains the clearest area for additional support.
The largest performance gap appears in 7th grade, where 61% of students were proficient in reading but only 21% were proficient in mathematics. Sixth-grade math was comparatively strong at 42%, nearly matching the state’s 43%, while 8th-grade math reached 28%, suggesting that the transition into 7th-grade content may deserve close attention. The school’s overall ranking improved from the 23rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 39th percentile in 2025–2026, following strong gains in reading and science, although it has not returned to its earlier 42nd-percentile standing. For parents, the key takeaway is that the school shows solid reading and improving science results, while mathematics—particularly in 7th grade—should be the primary academic focus.
