Summary

Lebanon High is a rural public high school in Lebanon, VA, serving 571 students in grades 8–12. It belongs to Russell County Public Schools, alongside Honaker High and Castlewood High. While all three schools rank in the bottom quarter of Virginia high schools, Lebanon has the lowest graduation rate among nearby peers—88.3% in 2024-2025, compared to 96.2% at Honaker High and 89.8% at Castlewood High. That outcome gap is notable because Lebanon spends the least per student ($6,780) among its local competitors, far less than Northwood High ($12,396), Abingdon High ($9,776), or even its district peers.

Academically, the school is a mixed bag with clear bright spots. In 2025-2026, 11th-grade reading proficiency was 93.1%, Earth Science beat the state average, and VA/US History proficiency (60.0%) was far above the state’s 34.5%. Its 8th-grade Algebra I pass rate (95.8%) shows advanced learners are thriving. However, math proficiency for the general student body is a serious weakness. Only 15.6% of 8th graders passed the general math SOL, versus 46.9% statewide, and 9th-grade geometry proficiency was 40.7% compared to 85.9% statewide. This suggests Lebanon’s math success is limited to a small group of accelerated students while the broader pipeline falls far behind state norms.

Adding context, Lebanon was not always ranked this low. A decade ago, it placed near the 80th percentile in Virginia before gradually declining to its current 26th percentile. Importantly, attendance and dropping out are not driving these struggles. Chronic absenteeism (14.3%) is better than the state average and has fallen drastically from 25.8% just a few years ago, and the dropout rate (2.9%) is below district and state levels. For parents, this points to a school with strong engagement and several academic strengths, but one constrained by the lowest spending in the area and a persistent math achievement gap, especially when compared with better-resourced neighboring schools like Northwood High or John S. Battle High.
