Summary:
The city of Lebanon, Illinois is home to two schools - Lebanon Elementary School and Lebanon High School, both part of the Lebanon CUSD 9 district. While Lebanon Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in academic subjects, Lebanon High School faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, despite maintaining a respectable graduation rate.
Lebanon Elementary School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 5th-grade students scoring well above the state average in science and English Language Arts. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate compared to the high school. In contrast, Lebanon High School lags behind the state average in math performance, but is ranked in the top 27% of Illinois high schools and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Lebanon High School spending significantly more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio compared to Lebanon Elementary School. This suggests a need for the Lebanon CUSD 9 district to review its resource allocation and ensure equitable distribution across all schools, while also addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school level.
