Summary:
The 46052 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Lebanon Community School Corp district. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with standouts like Central Elementary School and Perry Worth Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while other schools like Harney Elementary School and Hattie B Stokes Elementary School face challenges.
The data highlights significant disparities in performance and resources across the district. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Hattie B Stokes Elementary (74.59%) and Harney Elementary (67.65%), tend to have lower test scores and rankings compared to their more affluent counterparts. This suggests that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student outcomes. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $9,677 at Perry Worth Elementary to $14,420 at Hattie B Stokes Elementary, raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources across the district.
Despite these disparities, the district's high school, Lebanon Senior High School, performs on par with the state average and has a solid 88.4% 4-year graduation rate. However, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all schools in the district is a concern that the district may need to address to improve student success.
