Summary

Lebanon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 293 students in grades PK-5 in Lebanon, Illinois. The school is part of the Lebanon CUSD 9 district, which is ranked 400 out of 811 districts in the state.

Lebanon Elementary School is a strong-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 5 years. The school's academic performance on state assessments is significantly above the state averages, with 64% of students proficient or better in ELA and 51.5% in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's performance is also notably higher than the district average, indicating it is a standout within the Lebanon CUSD 9 district. Additionally, Lebanon Elementary School outperforms nearby schools like Trenton Elementary School and Dawn Elser Elementary School on state assessments.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 19.5% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, while the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is impressive, ranking in the top 7% of Illinois elementary schools, its performance for African American students and students with disabilities lags behind the school's overall strong academic standing. Continued focus on addressing attendance issues and learning from the practices of top-performing nearby schools, such as Mascoutah Elementary School and Scott Elementary School, could help Lebanon Elementary School maintain and improve its strong academic standing.
