Liberty Traditional Charter School

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Liberty Traditional Charter School is a public charter school serving grades K-8 in Phoenix, Arizona, with a diverse student population of 196 students as of the 2022-2023 school year, the majority of whom are Hispanic (85.2%).

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, it has maintained relatively low dropout rates. However, its student performance on standardized tests is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status among its student population. When compared to nearby schools like Justine Spitalny STE3AM School and James W. Rice Elementary School, Liberty Traditional Charter School generally performs worse on key metrics such as standardized test scores and school rankings.

The school's subgroup performance also varies significantly, with male students outperforming female students, and Hispanic and White students tending to perform better than African American and English Language Learner students. Additionally, Liberty Traditional Charter School's spending per student is relatively low, which may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. Despite these challenges, the school's enrollment has remained relatively stable, suggesting a consistent student population that could benefit from additional resources, targeted interventions, and a closer examination of the school's educational practices and strategies.
