Lebanon SD operates 7 public schools serving 4,953 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Pennsylvania. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,061 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Lebanon County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,874 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 26.2% local, 60.8% state, and 13.0% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $72,121 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 35/100, ranked #469 of 659 in Pennsylvania against a state average of 49 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 394.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 45.1% 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.
Lebanon Shs accounts for 34.3% of all Lebanon SD student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Lebanon SD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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 SD school enrollment varies 4.0× across entities
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.
Lebanon SD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 83.7% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
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 45.1% — 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.
Lebanon SD has 7 schools, including 1 high, 5 other, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 4,953 students.
