Best Public Schools in Lisbon, ME

Summary:

The city of Lisbon, Maine has a single public elementary school, the Lisbon Community School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 661 students. The school's student population is predominantly white at 94.7%, with a relatively low percentage of minority students. In the 2022-2023 school year, Lisbon Community School ranked 220 out of 290 Maine elementary schools and was rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a decline from its previous rankings of 176 out of 228 in 2020-2021 and 183 out of 210 in 2021-2022.

The school faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% and a significant percentage of students (40.39%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.3 is relatively low compared to the national average. However, the lack of diversity in the student population may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for an increasingly diverse world.

Overall, the analysis of the Lisbon Community School data reveals areas of concern, including the school's declining state-wide ranking, high chronic absenteeism rate, and socioeconomic challenges. The Lisbon Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for the students at Lisbon Community School.
