Summary:
The 97355 zip code is home to a single high school, Lebanon High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the school is struggling to meet academic standards and may need additional support or interventions.
Lebanon High School has a four-year graduation rate of 81.8%, which is below the state average. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.6%), Mathematics (16.1%), and Science (24.3%) for 11th graders are all below the state averages. Additionally, a high percentage (70.65%) of students at Lebanon High School qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the Lebanon Community School District 9 spending $16,788 per student, which is higher than the state average, the academic performance of Lebanon High School remains below state standards. This raises questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need to explore alternative strategies to improve student outcomes, such as addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and exploring more effective ways to support the school's predominantly low-income student population.
