Lebanon Elementary

Summary:

Lebanon Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in Lebanon, Virginia, with a student population of 307. The school is part of the Russell County Public Schools district, which is ranked 46 out of 130 school districts in the state.

While Lebanon Elementary has had a mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 55th out of 1,100 Virginia elementary schools in 2014-2015 and 681st out of 1,114 in 2023-2024, its recent proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests have generally been lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 88.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Compared to other schools in the district, such as Belfast Elementary and Swords Creek Elementary, which consistently outperform Lebanon Elementary on SOL tests, Lebanon Elementary's academic performance appears to be lagging.

The school's challenges extend beyond its overall academic performance, as its rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students with disabilities, are generally lower than the overall school ranking, indicating that these groups are underperforming compared to their peers. The school's ranking for disabled students was particularly low, at 345 out of 355 Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that it may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve outcomes for this 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.
