Summary:
The 13658 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Lisbon Central School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 546 students. As an alternative school, Lisbon Central School may have a unique focus or approach compared to traditional elementary, middle, and high schools in the area.
Lisbon Central School's performance on key metrics is mixed. The school had a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.5% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, but also a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%. The school's test scores varied across grade levels and subject areas, with some grades and subjects performing above the Lisbon Central School District and state averages, while others were below. For example, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate was 60%, compared to the district's 58.06% and the state's 56.61%, but the 8th grade ELA proficiency rate was only 34.78%, compared to the district's 34.78% and the state's 52.38%.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($30,757) and low student-teacher ratio (12.1), the mixed academic performance suggests that the resources may not be translating into consistent student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and identifying areas for improvement in curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems could be important steps in enhancing the educational experience for students at Lisbon Central School.
