Lyons Central School District

Summary:

The Lyons Central School District operates three schools: Lyons Elementary School, Lyons Senior High School, and Lyons Middle School. The district as a whole is performing significantly below the state average, ranking 786 out of 874 districts in New York and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lyons Senior High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and better-than-district performance on many Regents exams. In contrast, Lyons Elementary School appears to be the weakest, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments across all grade levels and subjects. Lyons Middle School is the relative bright spot, outperforming the district and state on 7th grade ELA and Math assessments, as well as achieving 100% proficiency on some Regents exams.

The high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools, ranging from 64.66% to 66.94%, suggest that the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the overall academic challenges. Despite the district's investment in smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios around 10:1, this does not appear to be translating into significantly stronger academic outcomes. Addressing the district's low performance and the specific needs of the elementary school population could be key focus areas for improvement.
