Summary:
Lebanon Junction, Kentucky, has one listed school, Lebanon Junction Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 5, with 349 students. Because there is only one school in the area, families can’t compare local schools against one another; the useful comparisons are with the state and Bullitt County. The clearest concern is that the school’s results moved further below the state: its average across the ten reported grade-and-subject results fell from 42% in 2024–2025 to 37% in 2025–2026, while its gap to the state widened from about 1 point to 7 points.
Results at Lebanon Junction Elementary vary substantially by grade and subject, so the overall average does not describe every result. Fifth-grade writing stands out positively: 42% were proficient, 7 points above Kentucky’s 35%. Fourth-grade math was also above the state, at 49% compared with 43%. The sharpest weakness was third-grade math, with 15% proficient—28 points below the state’s 43%; third-grade reading was also low at 25%, 24 points below the state. Fifth-grade reading matched the state at 51%, and fourth-grade science matched it at 40%.
The year-to-year pattern is mixed, but the steep third-grade declines and a weaker SchoolDigger ranking are notable. Third-grade math fell 24 points, from 39% to 15%, and third-grade reading fell 19 points, from 44% to 25%; by contrast, fourth-grade science rose 6 points and fourth-grade math rose 5. SchoolDigger placed the school at 463 of 684 statewide, in the 32nd percentile in 2025–2026, down 13 percentile points from the prior year. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 17.4:1 and 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 26% in 2025–2026, compared with 24% statewide and 23% in the district. These figures describe the school, but with no other listed local schools, they do not show what explains its results.
