Summary:
Zip code 46052 is home to one middle school, Lebanon Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Lebanon Community School Corp.
Lebanon Middle School has an enrollment of 834 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.7, with spending per student at $11,487. Academically, the school showed mixed results in the 2023-2024 school year, with 6th and 7th graders performing slightly above the state average in English Language Arts, while 8th graders were slightly below. In Math, 7th graders outperformed the state average, and 8th graders were also above the state average. However, projected data for the 2024-2025 school year indicates a notable decline in proficiency across all subjects and grade levels, falling below district and state averages in most areas, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's statewide ranking has also seen a dip, moving from 139th in 2021-2022 to 167th in 2022-2023, with a star rating decreasing from 4 to 3 stars.
A significant concern for Lebanon Middle School is its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a substantial number of students are frequently absent, which can impact academic progress. Additionally, nearly half of the student body, 49.04%, qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school has adequate resources in terms of funding and class sizes, the downward trend in test scores and high absenteeism rate are key areas that require attention and further investigation to support student success.
