Summary

Lisbon Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Lisbon, New York, with 546 students as part of the Lisbon Central School District. The school has seen graduation rates between 84-91% in recent years and dropout rates of 1.8-4.9%, though chronic absenteeism has been a concern at 11.8-34.1%.

Compared to nearby schools like Morristown Central, Hermon-Dekalb Central, and Heuvelton Central, Lisbon Central generally performs better on state assessments and Regents exams, especially in math and science. Its 4-year graduation rates are also on the higher end. However, Lisbon spends significantly more per student, around $30,700, compared to the $30,100-$36,500 range of the other schools.

While Lisbon Central has some strengths, the school also faces challenges. Its test scores show significant year-over-year fluctuations, and the high chronic absenteeism rates raise concerns. Additionally, despite the higher spending, Lisbon's academic outcomes are not consistently superior across the board, suggesting potential issues with the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and utilization. Addressing these areas could help Lisbon Central improve and better serve its students.
