Summary:
The Lebanon School District in Pennsylvania consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district serves a predominantly low-income community, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the district are Houck Elementary School and Southeast Elementary School, which consistently outperform the district and state averages on academic assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, 40.4% of Houck students were proficient or better in math, compared to 17.1% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Similarly, Southwest Elementary School also stands out for its above-average academic performance.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the elementary schools and the middle and high school levels. Lebanon Senior High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania high schools, with low proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Addressing these achievement gaps and improving outcomes for all students will be a key priority for the Lebanon School District moving forward.
