Summary:
Lebanon Junction, Kentucky has only one public elementary school, Lebanon Junction Elementary, which serves students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has seen a decline in recent years, dropping from 286th out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 379th out of 685 in 2024-2025. While the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some subject areas performing above the Bullitt County and Kentucky averages, others are below the district and state levels.
Lebanon Junction Elementary faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% for the 2024-2025 school year and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.11% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending is $18,928 for the 2023-2024 school year, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.9, slightly higher than the typical recommended range for elementary schools.
Despite these challenges, the school has adequate resources, and addressing the root causes of the declining performance, uneven academic outcomes, and high chronic absenteeism could help improve student outcomes. By focusing on strengthening the curriculum and instructional strategies, as well as addressing socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning, Lebanon Junction Elementary can work to enhance the educational experiences and opportunities for all its students.
