New Lebanon Central School District

Summary:

The New Lebanon Central School District operates two schools - Walter B Howard Elementary School and New Lebanon Junior-Senior High School. Both schools are performing reasonably well, with the elementary school ranking 962 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and the high school ranking 445 out of 1,242 New York high schools in 2023-2024.

The elementary school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, while the high school maintained a strong 84.3% four-year graduation rate and outperformed the state on several Regents exams. However, both schools saw declines in proficiency rates from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, which may warrant further investigation. The elementary school had a relatively low 41.82% free/reduced lunch rate, while the high school had a higher 48.69% rate.

Financially, the high school spent significantly more per student ($36,314) than the elementary school ($29,105) in 2023-2024, which could be due to differences in programming, staffing, or other factors. Overall, the New Lebanon Central School District appears to be providing a solid educational experience for its students, with both schools demonstrating strengths in various areas, but there may be opportunities to improve performance and ensure equitable resource allocation across the district.
