Summary

Lebanon Junior High is a public school serving grades 7–8 with 869 students in Lebanon, Ohio, a city in Warren County north of Cincinnati, and it is the only middle school in the Lebanon City School District. In 2025-26 it ranked 363 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools—65th percentile, 3 stars—below the district’s overall 71st-percentile, 4-star standing. Its profile is split: strong at the top of the math sequence, average in the middle, with absenteeism and economic-disadvantage challenges.

Algebra I proficiency is 97.6%, 36 points above the state (61.6%) and 18.5 points above the district (79.1%), and 8th grade math is 70.5% versus the state’s 52.0%. But 7th grade math is the clear weak spot at 45.8%, below the state’s 48.6%. The jump from 7th to 8th grade math is 24.7 points, and similar 22–32 point jumps occurred for three straight cohorts. The same pattern appears at Berry Intermediate School: its 6th graders scored 71.5% in math, but the same pipeline’s 7th graders scored 45.8%. The school’s state rank has slid 12 percentile points over a decade, holding at 3 stars.

Chronic absenteeism is 20.8%, above the district’s 16.5% and higher than every nearby school except Franklin Junior High School (28.7%) and Middletown Middle School (43.7%). Berry Intermediate, same poverty, is at 13.5%. Low-SES students rank at the 46th percentile versus the school’s 65th, with 32.6% free/reduced lunch. English Language Learners improved from the 33rd to 56th percentile over three years, and special education students from 46th to 58th in one year. For a like-for-like comparison, Monroe Junior High School serves a similar low-income share (36.1%), spends only $4,035 per student, yet ranks higher (71st percentile) with lower absenteeism (15.4%). Springboro Junior High School spends $5,360 yet ranks 88th percentile, suggesting Lebanon’s $6,506 spend (2018-19) is not the constraint.
