Summary:
The Lyons Central School District is home to a single high school, Lyons Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 644 out of 1,234 high schools in 2024-2025 to 891 out of 1,228 high schools in 2022-2023.
Academically, Lyons Senior High School has a mixed performance on Regents exams, with some subjects like Global History and Geography performing well above the state average, while others like Geometry and Common Core Algebra I are significantly below. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 84.3%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which is quite high.
Socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's performance, as 64.66% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite this, the school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $34,970, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's small student-teacher ratio of 9.6 suggests that resources are being allocated, but the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the investment.
