Lisbon’s public schools score below 79% of New Hampshire districts on tests and graduation

Reading proficiency in Lisbon’s districts is 37%, below the New Hampshire average (51%). The grade covers the public school district serving Lisbon, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within New Hampshire, not nationally.

From New Hampshire state tests taken in spring 2022, when 98% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2023’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
