Lebanon Middle School

Q: Is Lebanon Middle School a good school?

Lebanon Middle School ranks 165 th of 485 Indiana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lebanon Middle School is a public middle school serving 807 students in grades 6-8 in Lebanon, Indiana, which is part of the Community Schools of Frankfort district. While the school has some areas of strength, it also faces challenges in improving student performance, particularly in math, and addressing rising chronic absenteeism.

Lebanon Middle School's ILEARN test scores are generally below the state averages, with only 37.29% of students proficient or better in math compared to the state average of 41.19%. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) scores are closer to the state average at 42.93% proficient or better. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.4% in 2020-2021 to 15.4% in 2022-2023, which could be impacting student performance. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 37.9% to 46.47%, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Brownsburg East Middle School and Creekside Middle School, Lebanon Middle School's performance is generally lower. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the years, suggesting inconsistent academic performance. To address these challenges, the school should focus on strategies to improve math achievement, investigate and address the root causes of chronic absenteeism, and examine its practices and policies to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
