Summary

Lebanon Middle is a public middle school in Lebanon, Virginia, serving 305 students in grades 5-7. The school is part of the Russell County Public Schools district, which is ranked 61 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lebanon Middle has seen increasing per-student spending, from $5,678 in 2018-2019 to $6,997 in 2020-2021, its performance has declined over the years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2017-2018 to its current 3-star rating. The school faces challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.9% to 26.8%, and lower test scores in subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English Reading compared to state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 54.9%, compared to the state average of 71.56% and the Washington County Public Schools district average of 65.55%.

Interestingly, the nearby Glade Spring Middle, Wallace Middle, and E.B. Stanley Middle schools in the Washington County district generally outperform Lebanon Middle in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism rates, and the socioeconomic status of their student populations. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and the large proportion of students from low-income backgrounds, could be crucial for improving Lebanon Middle's overall outcomes.
