Lebanon Middle

Q: Is Lebanon Middle a good school?

Lebanon Middle ranks 133 rd of 417 Virginia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lebanon Middle is a public middle school in Lebanon, Virginia, serving 291 students in grades 5-7. The school is part of the Russell County Public Schools district, which is ranked 46 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Lebanon Middle stands out for its high percentage of white students (97.59%) and economically disadvantaged students (90.72% receive free or reduced-price lunch). The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and has increased its spending per student from $5,678 in 2018-2019 to $6,997 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average. Academically, Lebanon Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly below district and state averages, but the school has shown strengths in English Reading proficiency. Compared to nearby schools like Glade Spring Middle, Wallace Middle, and E.B. Stanley Middle (all part of the Washington County Public Schools district), Lebanon Middle generally lags behind in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science.

Despite these challenges, Lebanon Middle has shown some promising trends, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Reading and better performance among female students and low-socioeconomic status students compared to their male and white counterparts, respectively. Continued efforts to address the needs of all students and improve overall academic achievement could help Lebanon Middle become a more competitive and successful school within the region.

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.
