Summary:
Lebanon, New Hampshire, has four schools serving grades K–12: three Lebanon School District schools providing a continuous public pathway from elementary through high school, plus the small 9–12 Ledyard Charter School. Together, the schools enroll about 1,435 students, and the area’s traditional public schools generally perform above New Hampshire averages.
Lebanon High School is the strongest overall option in the available data, ranking 13th among 89 New Hampshire high schools. It reports 62% math, 74% reading, and 52% science proficiency, along with an 89.3% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. Hanover Street School is also a standout, ranking in the 77th percentile and showing especially strong mathematics performance, including 69% proficiency in third grade. Reading is steady at 61% in both tested grades. Lebanon Middle School performs above state averages in math, reading, and science, but trails the district’s overall results. Its main concern is sixth grade, where math proficiency is 45% and reading proficiency is 50%, notably below fifth- and eighth-grade results.
Ledyard Charter School is much smaller, with 49 students, and serves a different student population than the district schools. Its reported proficiency is 0% in math, 33% in reading, and 18% in science, while its graduation rate is 70%; small enrollment means percentages can change substantially from year to year, but the results still warrant attention. For families comparing options, the district schools offer the most consistently strong academic outcomes, with the high school providing the clearest overall performance and Hanover Street showing notable elementary math strength. Key areas to monitor are fourth-grade math, sixth-grade middle-school performance, and Ledyard’s academic and graduation outcomes.
