Summary:
The Lyons Central School District in New York serves students from elementary through high school across three schools: Lyons Elementary School, Lyons Senior High School, and Lyons Middle School. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and resource allocation within the district, with Lyons Middle School standing out as the strongest performer while the other two schools face more significant challenges.
Lyons Middle School excels in Regents exam performance, with 100% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and Living Environment, far surpassing the district and state averages. The school also performs well on 7th grade state assessments in ELA and Math. In contrast, Lyons Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages across all grade levels. Lyons Senior High School has mixed performance, with some Regents exams showing proficiency rates below 50% and others closer to the state average.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as all three schools have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 58.74% at Lyons Elementary to 66.13% at Lyons Middle School. This suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students within the district. The district should examine these disparities and implement targeted interventions to support the lower-performing schools and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
