What Lisbon Middle School does

Lisbon Middle School is a public middle school operating within the Lisbon Public Schools #19 district in Lisbon, North Dakota, the county seat of Ransom County. It serves approximately 200 students in grades 5-8 from a fully air-conditioned building at 801 Ash Street that includes two computer labs and a large gymnasium. The school's offering combines core academics (math, science, English, social studies, music/band), behavioral and academic support frameworks (PBIS, RTI, Special Education), and extracurricular programming including athletics, a Leadership Team, Science Fair, and school band under the STARS expectations framework (Safety, Take Responsibility, Active Learners, Respectful Learners).

The school's instructional technology stack is built on standard, off-the-shelf educational platforms — PowerSchool for student information management, Schoology for learning management, and Microsoft Office 365 for productivity — with no proprietary technology development. It participates in three regional cooperatives (Heart of the Valley ITV Consortium, South Valley Multi-District Special Education, and SEEC) that extend its service surface beyond the physical campus. The middle school is led by Principal Warren Michael, with district oversight from Superintendent Dr. Steven L. Johnson and Business Manager Lori Lyons.

Lisbon Middle School does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Its operating budget is funded through state appropriations (79% of district revenue), local property taxes at 95 mills (18%), and federal sources (3%), within a total district budget of $7.3 million and a cost-per-student of $8,572 — one of the lowest among North Dakota's 177 districts. Enrollment is open to district residents with additional out-of-district options, and the school charges no tuition, with auxiliary food service fees subject to free/reduced lunch eligibility.
