Best Public Schools in Lyons, NY

Summary:

The city of Lyons, New York is home to three schools: Lyons Elementary School, Lyons Senior High School, and Lyons Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Lyons Central School District, which is ranked 786 out of 874 in New York and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lyons Senior High School stands out as a relative bright spot, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% in 2023-2024. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in several Regents exam subjects, such as Common Core English Language Arts, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government. Lyons Middle School also shows promise, with 100% proficiency rates in Regents exams for Living Environment and Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

However, the overall performance of the district and Lyons Elementary School indicates significant room for improvement. Lyons Elementary School's proficiency rates in state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, and the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools highlight the socioeconomic challenges faced by the Lyons community. Addressing these challenges and identifying effective strategies to support student learning should be key priorities for the district.
