Summary:
The city of Lebanon, Virginia is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Russell County Public Schools district. The data reveals a mix of performance trends, with some schools standing out while others face more significant challenges.
Lebanon High has a strong 92.8% four-year graduation rate, though its dropout rate is slightly higher than the state average. Its test scores are mixed, with some subjects performing above district and state averages, while others lag behind. In contrast, Lebanon Middle and Lebanon Elementary generally perform below district and state averages in most subject areas, suggesting a need for more resources and support to improve academic outcomes.
One standout is Lebanon Primary, which has a strong historical performance, ranking in the top 20% of Virginia elementary schools in the mid-2000s. However, its more recent ranking has dropped, indicating a potential decline in performance that warrants further investigation. Across all four schools, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 88.93% to 91.64%, highlight the significant economic challenges faced by the student population, which may contribute to the observed academic performance trends.
