Best High Schools in Zip Code 62254

Zip code 62254 has one high school, Lebanon High School, serving grades 6–12 and enrolling 218 students. With only one school listed, families cannot compare local schools against one another. The most important finding is the sharp contrast in results: eighth-grade English Language Arts (ELA) is well above the state, while math is below it.

Lebanon High School’s standout result is eighth-grade IAR ELA: 84% met expectations, 21 percentage points above the state’s rate. All-grades ELA was also above the state, at 63% compared with 56%. The clearest concern is all-grades IAR math, where 28% met expectations versus 40% statewide, a 12-point shortfall. Sixth-grade ELA was another weaker result: 54%, or 5 points below the state. These results show why the strong eighth-grade ELA score should not be taken as a picture of performance across every grade and subject. Graduation was 85%, 5 points below the state; chronic absenteeism was 16%, 7 points lower than the state rate.

Recent trends also diverge by subject. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grades ELA rose from 57% to 63%, while the state rose from 53% to 56%; the school’s advantage grew from 3 to 6 points. Math fell from 33% to 28% as the state increased from 39% to 40%, widening the school’s shortfall from 6 to 12 points. SchoolDigger ranked Lebanon High School 327th of 620 schools, at the 47th percentile, and gave it 2 stars for 2025–2026. For context, in 2024–2025 the school had a student–teacher ratio of 9 and 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; these figures describe the school, not the cause of its results.
