Summary

Liberty Elementary is a K-6 public school in the Riverside Unified district serving 651 students in a high-need community, where over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom third of California elementary schools and recently dropping to the 20th percentile. A major area of concern is mathematics, where proficiency is notably low and declines sharply in the upper grades, with only about 14% of 6th graders proficient. While the school performs relatively better with its English Learner and Special Education students, it struggles with chronic absenteeism, though there has been recent improvement from pandemic-era highs.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal important context. Within the same district, schools like Hawthorne Elementary and Monroe Elementary serve similar student populations but achieve higher academic rankings. Furthermore, when compared to schools in the neighboring Alvord Unified district, such as Arlanza Elementary, Liberty outperforms them academically despite those schools often receiving more funding per student, highlighting differences in district effectiveness.
