Summary:
The 08833 zip code area is home to 3 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools, Patrick McGaheran, Round Valley, and Lebanon Borough School, demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with Lebanon Borough School standing out as an exceptional performer, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Lebanon Borough School, a small school with just 94 students, significantly outperforms the state and district averages in both ELA and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade, 83.3% of students were proficient or better in these subjects, compared to the state averages of 42% and 45.9%, respectively. This exceptional performance may be attributed to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.3, which allows for more individualized attention. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1% is an area of concern that the Lebanon Borough School District should address.
While Lebanon Borough School shines, Round Valley also demonstrates strong performance, particularly in Mathematics and 5th grade Science. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Patrick McGaheran has a higher student-teacher ratio of 10.3 and does not stand out in any specific academic areas. The significant difference in per-student spending, with Lebanon Borough School spending $16,745 per student compared to $6,639 and $3,600 for Patrick McGaheran and Round Valley, respectively, may also play a role in the schools' varying performance levels.
