Middle Schools in Russell County Public Schools

Russell County Public Schools has only one middle school, Lebanon Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Located in the rural southwestern region of Virginia, the school has a predominantly white student population and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Despite the challenges of serving a high-poverty community, Lebanon Middle has generally strong academic performance, with test scores that exceed the state averages in math and English reading. The school's student-teacher ratio is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting that factors beyond just test scores may influence its overall performance.

While Lebanon Middle appears to be a relatively high-performing school, the lack of racial diversity in its student population is an area that the Russell County Public Schools district may want to address. Overall, the data suggests that Lebanon Middle is providing a solid education to its students, but there may be room for improvement in addressing the unique needs of its low-income and predominantly white community.
