Summary:
The Lebanon CUSD 9 district in Illinois is home to two schools: Lebanon Elementary School and Lebanon High School. While the elementary school is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools, the high school faces significant challenges.
Lebanon Elementary School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the district and state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. In contrast, Lebanon High School struggles, with a 2-star rating and a concerning 4-year graduation rate of only 65.9%, compared to the state average.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools, with Lebanon Elementary School excelling and Lebanon High School facing significant challenges, particularly in Mathematics proficiency. The high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 36.7% is also a significant concern. While the high school spends more per student, the elementary school appears to be more efficient in its use of resources, as evidenced by its stronger academic performance.
