Lebanon operates 7 public schools serving 4,221 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Tennessee. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 other, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,628 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Wilson County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,177 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 44.5% local, 37.7% state, and 17.8% 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 $72,964 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 26/100, ranked #115 of 140 in Tennessee against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
a 661.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 15.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 51.6% White, 21.9% Hispanic or Latino, 16.9% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Lebanon-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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 student-counselor ratio is 661:1 — 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 chronic absenteeism rate is 15.7% — 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 is typically wider than the Lebanon-aggregate figure suggests.
