Mt. Lebanon School District

What Mt. Lebanon School District does

Mt. Lebanon School District is a public K-12 school district organized under Pennsylvania law in 1912, serving approximately 5,429 students across ten neighborhood schools in the Mt. Lebanon municipality south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The district operates seven elementary schools (grades K-5), two middle schools (grades 6-8), and one high school (grades 9-12), supported by approximately 939 staff members and an elected school board led by a Superintendent and two Assistant Superintendents overseeing elementary and secondary education respectively. The district offers standard K-12 academic programming plus specialized pathways including a STEM Academy, Global Studies Program, English Language Development, Gifted Education, Special Education and Student Services, and Career & Technical Education through a partnership with Parkway West Career and Technology Center.

The district runs on a layered EdTech stack anchored by its proprietary LeboID single sign-on platform (built on ClassLink), which federates access to PowerSchool (student information system), Schoology (learning management), Atlas (curriculum management), Naviance (college and career readiness), Arbiter (sports registration), Payschools (meal accounts), and Google Workspace for Education. Supporting community programs include the district-sponsored Little Lebo Preschool (located inside Mt. Lebanon High School), Mt. Lebanon Extended Day before- and after-school care, and partnerships with the Mt. Lebanon Foundation for Education, Allegheny Intermediate Unit #3, and Outreach Teen & Family Services.

Revenue is generated through Pennsylvania public-education funding — primarily local property taxes, state basic-education aid, and federal grants — supplemented by transaction-fee ancillaries including the food service program (elementary lunch $2.70; tiered middle/high school lunch $2.85-$3.75; free breakfast district-wide), facility rentals to community organizations, and a $3.00 per-transcript fee for alumni. Outcome metrics include a 95.9% college-attendance rate for graduates, 304 AP Scholars recognized in 2024-2025, a 100% NOCTI industry-credential pass rate, and over 100 clubs, activities, and athletic teams at the high school level. The district has earned six National Blue Ribbon School recognitions since 1983, 38 consecutive years of ASBO financial-reporting awards, and a top-4% national ranking from U.S. News & World Report.
