District-Level NCES Analysis
Lebanon Sd operates 7 public schools serving 4,953 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 1 high, 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 Lebanon County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,272 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 68 of 672 Pennsylvania districts by per-pupil spending. See how Pennsylvania compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 26.2% local, 60.8% state, and 13.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 45/100, ranked #364 of 649 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 394.7:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 35.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.2% Hispanic or Latino, 17.2% White, 3.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Houck El Sch, with a diversity index of 44.8/100.
Its largest campus is Lebanon Shs, enrolling 1,393 students (34% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Houck El Sch, at 348 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Lebanon Shs accounts for 28.1% of all Lebanon Sd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Lebanon Sd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Lebanon Sd school enrollment ranges from 348 students (lowest) to 1,393 students (highest), a spread of 1,045 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.
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Lebanon Sd student-counselor ratio is 395:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Lebanon Sd chronic absenteeism rate is 35.9% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
