District-Level NCES Analysis
Lebanon City operates 5 public schools serving 5,337 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 2 elementary, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Warren County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,643 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 58.5% local, 33.7% state, and 7.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 16/100, ranked #777 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (11 AP courses district-wide), a 712.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 17.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.4% White, 6.8% Hispanic or Latino, 2.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Bowman Primary School, with a diversity index of 32.9/100.
Its largest campus is Lebanon High School, enrolling 1,604 students (31% of the district's total enrollment).
Lebanon High School accounts for 30.1% of all Lebanon City student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Lebanon City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Lebanon City school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Lebanon City school enrollment ranges from 774 students (lowest) to 1,604 students (highest), a spread of 830 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Lebanon City student-counselor ratio is 713:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Lebanon City chronic absenteeism rate is 17.5% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Lebanon City is typically wider than the Lebanon City-aggregate figure suggests.
Lebanon City has 5 schools, including 2 combined, 1 middle, 2 elementary. Total enrollment is 5,337 students.
