Best Public Schools in Lebanon, MO

Summary:

The city of Lebanon, Missouri is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Lebanon R-III School District. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly white student population, there are notable differences in their academic performance, student-teacher ratios, and funding levels.

Among the elementary schools, Maplecrest Elementary stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio of 12.1, while Joe D. Esther Elementary has the highest ratio at 14.7. The schools also vary in their free and reduced-price lunch rates, with Maplecrest having the highest at 66.78% and Joel E. Barber Elementary the lowest at 26%. This suggests significant socioeconomic differences among the student populations.

At the secondary level, Lebanon Senior High School and Lebanon Middle School both rank below the state average, with 2-star ratings. This, combined with the relatively homogeneous racial makeup of the schools and the varying levels of funding, indicates that the district may need to focus on improving academic outcomes and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students.
