Summary
Lebanon High School is a grades 9–12 public high school in Lebanon, Oregon, serving 1,162 students in Lebanon Community School District 9. It ranks 204 of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–26 — the 25th percentile, or 1 star — far below its 2015–16 high point (60th percentile, 3 stars) and its 12th–13th percentile low in 2021–22 and 2022–23. The district itself ranks mid-pack statewide at the 54th percentile (3 stars). Economic need is high: 88.55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest among nearby traditional high schools.
Graduation is a relative strength at 87.8% in 2024–25, above the state's 83.0% and higher than South Albany High School (83.9%), Jefferson High School (84.5%), and Central Linn High School (85.4%). Test scores are the concern: in 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 39.7% (state: 43.8%), math 15.1% (state: 32.9%), and science 15.6% (state: 30.6%) — the lowest science figure among conventional nearby high schools. Chronic absenteeism of 48.6% is a major barrier, well above the district's 41.1% and the state's 33.5%, and higher than Corvallis High School (40.5%), Sweet Home High School (47.3%), and South Albany (47.6%); West Albany High School's 29.4% is a stark contrast.
Resources look adequate: $19,507 per student is close to Corvallis and higher than West Albany, South Albany, Scio High School, and Sweet Home, and the 20.8 student–teacher ratio is lower than Corvallis, West Albany, and South Albany. West Albany is a strong nearby benchmark: much higher ELA (68.4%) and science (43.2%), a 95.1% graduation rate, and far lower absenteeism, despite less spending per student and a larger student–teacher ratio. Subgroup results vary widely: Hispanic students ranked at the 52nd percentile (3 stars), up from the 25th–26th percentile the prior two years, while special education students ranked last at the 0th percentile (0 stars) and low-SES students fell to the 15th.
