New Lebanon Elementary School

What New Lebanon Elementary School does

New Lebanon Local School District is a public K-12 school district chartered in 1979, operating three schools — Dixie Elementary School (DES), Dixie Middle School (DMS), and Dixie High School (DHS) — that collectively serve approximately 1,150 students across a 33-square-mile footprint in Montgomery County, Ohio. Its core service is compulsory public education from preschool through grade 12, with auxiliary programs in special education, gifted services, performing arts, health and wellness, preschool (Step Up to Quality 5-star rated), and student transportation. The district is governed by a locally elected board and administered through a central office headed by Treasurer Dena Shepard, with a Title IX coordinator designated across programs.

The district's technology backbone is a standard K-12 EdTech stack: PowerSchool for the student information system and family portal, Savvas Realize and MobyMax as core instructional platforms, NWEA MAP for interim assessment, Google Classroom as the daily learning environment, and ParentSquare for family-school communications. Curriculum and instruction are organized through a Curriculum Department, while a Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) governs multi-year instructional priorities and is communicated to families through the ParentSquare channel. Workforce readiness is supported through partnerships with the Montgomery County Business Advisory Council (curriculum-to-career alignment) and the Miami Valley Career Technical Center (vocational and CTE pathways).

The district's "business model" is that of a public-sector taxing entity rather than a revenue-generating company: funding is sourced approximately 26% from local property taxes and 74% from state and federal allocations, with no additional local property tax levy placed on the ballot since 2006 and no new levy on the November 2024 ballot. There is no commercial pricing model, sales motion, or third-party customer base — service is delivered to resident students within statutory attendance boundaries, with participation in special education, gifted, performing arts, and preschool programs determined by individualized program criteria.

Broad incumbents

• Stride Inc. Public company offering online K-12 schooling and career-learning programs across the U.S. Comparable as a K-12 instructional provider, though it operates virtually and at national scale versus New Lebanon's single rural district footprint.
• Connections Academy: Operates tuition-free online public schools (including Ohio-supported programs) serving K-12 students. Comparable as a K-12 public-school alternative within Ohio, though delivered virtually rather than at a physical rural campus.
• National Heritage Academies: Operates a network of public charter schools emphasizing college-prep and moral-focus curricula. Comparable as a K-12 public school operator with a strong college-prep orientation akin to Dixie's college-and-career emphasis.
• EdisonLearning: Provides K-12 school management, professional learning, and career-education services to public school districts. Comparable as a partner/operator serving public K-12 districts seeking improved outcomes and career pathways.
• Charter Schools USA: Large charter management organization operating K-12 public charter schools. Comparable as a public K-12 instructional operator, though privately managed and scaled across multiple states rather than a single community-governed district.
• K12 Inc. legacy brand (now part of Stride): Historically a leading operator of virtual K-12 schooling; comparable to New Lebanon in serving the K-12 instructional mission, though via online rather than bricks-and-mortar delivery.

Emerging players

• Learning Care Group: Operates multiple early childhood education brands (including KinderCare). Comparable to New Lebanon's preschool program in the early-childhood segment, with overlap in kindergarten-readiness outcomes.
• KinderCare Learning Companies: National for-profit operator of early childhood education centers. Comparable to New Lebanon's preschool offering in the early-childhood segment, though for-profit and geographically broader.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: Large provider of early childhood education, including employer-sponsored preschool. Comparable to New Lebanon's 5-star rated preschool program housed inside Dixie Elementary.

Others

• Frontline Education: K-12 administration, HR, and student-information software provider serving U.S. public school districts. Comparable as an enabling technology partner already serving districts like New Lebanon (which uses PowerSchool for SIS).
