Criticisms
Lebanon High School, like many other high schools, has had incidents take place involving bullying, harassment, and violence. There have been a few times in the past where law enforcement has had to come into the school and arrest students. However, despite perceptions associated with its status as a multi-ethnic urban district, the school has an excellent track record demonstrating cooperation, tolerance, and acceptance among students with a wide variety of ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds.
The Lebanon School District has struggled to meet the goals established by the state Department of Education through the federal government's No Child Left Behind law. However, in 2009-2010, the district met nearly all of its goals. and now carries an AYP status of "Making Progress: in Corrective Action II"

Famous quotes containing the word criticisms:
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (1842–1910)
