Summary:
The city of Lebanon, Illinois is home to two schools - Lebanon Elementary School and Lebanon High School, both part of the Lebanon CUSD 9 district. While Lebanon Elementary consistently performs well, with high academic achievement and low chronic absenteeism, Lebanon High School has more variable performance and concerning graduation rates.
Lebanon Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, ranking in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school boasts impressive proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science, with particularly high achievement in 5th grade ELA and 3rd grade Math. In contrast, Lebanon High School has seen a drop in its performance ranking and struggles with low Math proficiency rates across all grades.
Attendance is a challenge for both schools, with high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level. Additionally, Lebanon High School's graduation rate of only 65.9% in 2023-2024 is a significant concern. While the high school spends more per student than the elementary school, the underlying factors contributing to these performance gaps warrant further investigation to support student success across the district.
