Lyman Elementary - 04 has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is an area of concern.

In mathematics, the school outperforms the district and state averages across all grade levels, which is a positive finding. However, the school's science proficiency for 5th graders is significantly lower than the district and state averages.
The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 40%, which may suggest a need for additional support and resources to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and its low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1 suggests a favorable learning environment with more individualized attention for students.
