Lisha
Kill Middle School believes that participation in sports
provides a wealth of opportunities and experiences that assist
students in their education. Accordingly, the school offers students opportunities to
participate in both modified and intramural athletics across
three seasons - Fall, Winter and Spring. South Colonie is a member of the
New York State Public High School Athletic Association,
competing as a Class A school in Section II. League
affiliation is with the Suburban Scholastic Council.
Schools required to keep student height and weight data (BMI)
Because New York State is interested in data about children’s health, schools are required to keep height and weight data and to calculate students’ Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is a way of checking for underweight or overweight youngsters based on their height and weight. Some schools will be surveyed by the state Department of Health each year and asked to share the number of pupils they have in each of six possible BMI categories based on students’ age and sex. If our district is surveyed by the state, we will only share group data (for instance, the number of second grade boys whose BMI is below the fifth percentile), not individual data.

Testing at Lisha Kill Middle School
