About
Lyons prepares students for college, healthy adulthood, and lifelong learning. As a NYS Performance Standards Consortium school, students are exempt from Regents exams except ELA. Instead, students present Performance-Based Assessment Tasks (PBATs). Ninth and tenth grade students participate in roundtables where they present projects to staff, families, and visitors in small groups. Eleventh and twelfth grade students complete extensive projects in all core content areas. Each student has a crew leader throughout their tenure, and are offered elective classes to pursue their individual academic and career interests, including internships. We are a Restorative Justice school, offering support and structure, not punishment, for disciplinary matters. We strive to be more anti-racist and inclusive each day. We are part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps us support career readiness for all our students. We have courses that help our ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Our students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school.
