Lisbon Central School

Summary:

Lisbon Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Lisbon, New York, with 561 students. The school has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 92.1% over the past few years, which is a positive metric that sets it apart from many other alternative schools. However, the school has struggled with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.8% to 37.8% in recent years, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Lisbon Central School's academic performance has been mixed, with some bright spots, such as its performance on Regents exams in Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Algebra I, which are significantly above the state average. However, the school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math is uneven, with some grades performing well above the state average and others significantly below. Compared to the nearby Morristown Central School, Hermon-Dekalb Central School, and Heuvelton Central School, Lisbon Central School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and graduation rates, but its chronic absenteeism rates are higher.

Lisbon Central School's increased per-student spending, from $14,827 in 2020-2021 to $18,233 in 2022-2023, and its lower student-teacher ratio, decreasing from 12.2 in 2020-2021 to 10.7 in 2022-2023, may be contributing factors to the school's ability to maintain strong graduation rates. This suggests that adequate funding and resources can play a significant role in supporting student success, especially in alternative school settings. Overall, Lisbon Central School appears to be a relatively strong alternative school, with some areas of excellence and some areas that could use improvement, and the school's focus on maintaining high graduation rates, providing individualized attention, and leveraging its funding resources are positive attributes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
