Summary

Lebanon Road Elementary is a PK–5 school in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools serving 488 students at 7300 Lebanon Road in Charlotte, a high-poverty pocket of the district where 99.4% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25. The school holds a 2-star state rating and ranks in the 43rd percentile among North Carolina elementary schools (856th of 1,492), placing it roughly in the middle of nearby schools serving similarly high-poverty populations.

The most striking story at this school is its recovery since the pandemic. After falling to the 9th percentile in 2022-23, it climbed to the 29th percentile the following year and now sits at the 43rd percentile. That progress is visible in the classroom: 3rd grade reading proficiency jumped from 22.4% to 57.1%, 5th grade reading from 20.5% to 57.3%, and 5th grade math from 33.6% to 57.0% since 2022-23. The school also produces strong results for particular student groups. African American students rank at the 64th percentile statewide, and low-income students rank at the 60th percentile — both meaningfully higher than the school's overall ranking.

Compared with nearby schools with nearly identical poverty rates, this school stacks up well. It outperforms Hickory Grove Elementary (21st percentile), Albemarle Road Elementary (30th), J. H. Gunn Elementary (31st), and Mint Hill Elementary School (38th), while trailing Crown Point Elementary (62nd) and Idlewild Elementary (61st). Bain Elementary ranks highest in the area at the 93rd percentile, but it serves a much wealthier population, so the comparison is less useful. Attendance has also improved dramatically, with chronic absenteeism dropping to 24.3% — below the district average — and the school maintains a favorable 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio. Remaining watch items include 4th grade reading, upper-elementary math, and 5th grade science, but the overall direction is clearly positive.

I have seen Lebanon Road since the early 2000's go from no growth to regularly meeting or exceeding state expectations for growth. The staff works for the betterment of your child, and many students improve who attend this school. Close Quote
