Summary:
The Lisbon Public Schools district in Maine consists of three schools: Lisbon Community School (an elementary school), Lisbon High School, and Philip W Sugg Middle School. While Philip W Sugg Middle School is a standout performer, ranking among the top middle schools in the state, the other two schools in the district have significantly lower state-wide rankings and ratings.
Lisbon High School stands out with its alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 54.2%, which could be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower performance. Additionally, the district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools, ranging from 30.28% to 40.39%.
The data highlights areas where the Lisbon Public Schools district could focus its efforts to improve student performance, such as addressing chronic absenteeism, particularly at the high school level, and exploring strategies to support students from lower-income families. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to the disparities in school performance could help the district develop targeted interventions and strategies to elevate the performance of all its schools.
