Lebanon Middle School

Summary:

Academically, Lebanon Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools, with below-average performance on state assessments across multiple subjects and grade levels. However, the school's students excel on the Algebra I End of Course exam, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students performing well above average and students with disabilities and from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing below average. Compared to the nearby Niangua Middle School, which has a student population that is 98.41% White, Lebanon Middle School has a more diverse student body.

Despite the school's challenges, the district has invested resources in Lebanon Middle School, with a steady increase in per-student spending and an improvement in the student-teacher ratio. These investments suggest that the school district is committed to supporting student learning, though the impact of these efforts has not yet been fully realized in the school's overall academic performance. The school's exceptional Algebra I performance and demographic diversity present opportunities for the school to develop targeted strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes across all areas.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
