Summary

Scott L Libby Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Litchfield Park, Arizona, serving 558 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Litchfield Elementary District, which is ranked 115 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than the district and state averages, except for 3rd grade Mathematics where the school outperformed. The school's 5th grade Science performance has also been consistently lower than the district and state. However, the school has shown strong performance for some student subgroups, such as ranking 94th out of 607 Arizona elementary schools for African American students and 37th out of 617 for Multi-racial students. The school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest it has access to more resources compared to nearby schools, but the inconsistent academic performance raises questions about the effective utilization of these resources.

When compared to nearby schools, Verrado Heritage Elementary School and Verrado Elementary School, which are part of the same district, have consistently outperformed Scott L Libby Elementary School. The nearby charter schools, such as The Odyssey Preparatory Academy Goodyear and The Odyssey Preparatory Academy - Sienna Hills, have also demonstrated stronger academic performance in several grade levels and subject areas compared to Scott L Libby Elementary School.

Awesome administration & Teachers...great parent support. Mrs. Nelson (principal) won Best Teacher in AZ for 2008...went to Washington DC to accept her award from the president. Just the best school! Unfortunately the buildings are old and need some repairs and upgrades, but that's coming due to the bond passage. But don't judge the school by it's buildings...its the staff and students that count and they are tops!! Close Quote
