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 the elementary school consistently performs well, the high school has experienced a decline in its academic performance in recent years.
Lebanon Elementary School stands out as a top performer, with 64% of students proficient or better in ELA and 51.5% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in ELA and Math proficiency across multiple grade levels, and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is a concern.
In contrast, Lebanon High School has experienced a decline in its SchoolDigger rating, dropping from 4 stars in 2022-2023 to 2 stars in the last two school years. The high school lags behind the district and state averages in Math proficiency, with only 32.6% of students meeting or exceeding standards in 2024-2025. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, matching the elementary school, and a 2.4% dropout rate, which is noteworthy.
