Lebanon High

Summary:

Lebanon High is a public high school serving grades 8-12 with 606 students in Lebanon, Virginia, which is part of the Russell County Public Schools district. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.19%) compared to the state average, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 65th out of 324 Virginia high schools in 2016-2017 to 249th out of 329 in 2023-2024.

Lebanon High's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and white students, are significantly lower than the overall school ranking, indicating achievement gaps that need to be addressed. The school's performance on various SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Geometry, Biology, and Science. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (90.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other high schools in the surrounding area, such as Northwood High, Virginia High, and Patrick Henry High, Lebanon High generally performs lower on standardized tests and has a lower school ranking. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lebanon High may be unique to the school or the broader community it serves, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
