Lebanon High School

Summary:

Lebanon High School is a public high school serving 1,844 students in grades 9-12 in Lebanon, Tennessee. The school is part of the Wilson County School District, which is ranked 19 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

One of Lebanon High School's key strengths is its racial diversity, with a student population that is 62.2% White, 14.97% African American, 16.92% Hispanic, 2.11% Asian, and 3.47% two or more races. This diversity is higher than nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the Wilson County and Tennessee state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 44% of students were proficient or better in Biology I, compared to 53.8% in Wilson County and 45.3% statewide. The school also faces achievement gaps among different racial and ethnic groups, with African American and Hispanic students performing significantly lower than their White peers.

Despite these challenges, Lebanon High School has some bright spots. The school's performance for students with special needs and English language learners is generally higher than the state average, ranking 4 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale for both subgroups. Additionally, the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively strong, suggesting that the school is effectively supporting these students. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 98 out of 358 Tennessee high schools in 2021-2022 to 198 out of 374 in 2023-2024, indicating that the school's academic performance may be declining relative to other high schools in the state. To improve, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support for underperforming subgroups, while also identifying and replicating the successful strategies used for special education and English language learner students.

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.
