Lebanon Road Elementary

Summary:

Lebanon Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 581 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Lebanon Road Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (46.47%) and African American (30.46%) students compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 55.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.7% and the district average of 47.5%. Additionally, over 99% of the students at Lebanon Road Elementary qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Bain Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, Lebanon Road Elementary has been struggling. The school's performance has declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 665 out of 1429 schools in 2016-2017 to 1062 out of 1505 schools in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
