Summary

Lebanon Middle School is a small-to-mid-sized public school in Lebanon, CT, serving 265 students in grades 5 through 8 as part of the Lebanon School District. The school has been on a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 53rd percentile in 2018–19 to the 82nd percentile in 2024–25, when it ranked 46th out of 252 middle schools statewide. In 2025–26, it ranked 73rd out of 258 schools (72nd percentile), placing it comfortably in the upper tier of Connecticut middle schools and ahead of most of its regional neighbors.

Academically, Lebanon consistently outperforms state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across nearly every tested grade. In 2025–26, 7th-grade math proficiency reached 67.2% versus 44.1% statewide, and 7th-grade ELA hit 67.2% versus 52.2% statewide. Among nearby schools, only Capt. Nathan Hale School in Coventry posted higher scores, while Mansfield Middle School and William J. Johnston Middle School in Colchester were close competitors. Lebanon also stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2% — well below the state average of 16.4% — and its low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1, which suggests smaller classes and more individualized attention. About 28% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a moderate rate compared with nearby districts.

Lebanon's female students ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide in 2024–25, and its low-income students have historically performed well above similar subgroups elsewhere. One area to watch is 8th-grade math, which has consistently lagged the school's other grade levels, though it remains above state averages. Parents considering Lebanon may also want to note that it achieves results similar to Mansfield Middle School, which spends less per student, but Lebanon's lower student-teacher ratio reflects a deliberate investment in smaller class sizes. Overall, Lebanon Middle School is a strong, well-rounded option that combines solid academics, excellent attendance, and a supportive school climate in a competitive regional field.
