Lebanon’s public schools outscore 74% of New Hampshire districts

In Lebanon, 55% of tested students are proficient in math, above the New Hampshire average (40%). The grade covers the public school district serving Lebanon, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within New Hampshire, not nationally.
