Summary:
The city of Lebanon, Oregon is home to 9 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Lebanon Community School District 9. While the district is ranked 47 out of 140 in Oregon and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the data reveals a mixed picture, with one standout school and several others struggling to meet state averages.
The clear standout in the district is Sand Ridge Charter School, which consistently outperforms the district and state on standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, Sand Ridge Charter School ranked 58 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools and received the highest 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, several other elementary schools like Green Acres School and Hamilton Creek School struggle to meet state averages.
Across the district, there are some concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low graduation rates at Lebanon High School, and test scores that lag behind state averages. Additionally, the district faces challenges with high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. While spending per student is relatively high, this does not seem to translate to higher student outcomes across the board, raising questions about the efficient use of resources.
