Liberty Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Canton, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 954 students. The school is part of the Cherokee County School District, which is ranked 28th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Liberty Elementary has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating strong academic performance.

Liberty Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in Milestones Assessment scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, Liberty's 5th-grade students scored 46.6% proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 43%. In math, Liberty's 5th-grade students scored 63% proficient or better, significantly higher than the state's 42.6%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 14.9 over the past few years, suggesting more individualized attention for students. While Liberty Elementary outperforms the state averages, it is not the highest-performing school in the immediate area, as Bascomb Elementary and Sixes Elementary, both within a 5-mile radius, have higher test scores and state rankings than Liberty Elementary.

The free/reduced lunch rates at Liberty Elementary are lower than some nearby schools, such as William G. Hasty- Senior Elementary, which had a 76.84% free/reduced lunch rate in 2023-2024. This suggests a more socioeconomically diverse student population at Liberty Elementary, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance. Additionally, Liberty Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, from $8,109 in 2016-2017 to $9,514 in 2018-2019, aligning with the Cherokee County School District's overall investment in education and potentially contributing to the school's strong performance.

The expectations for students far exceeds what I thought should be offered to students. It is a gold mine. Close Quote

This school is awful. My Son attended this school for 1st and second grade both teachers lacked patience just like the staff in the front office all the way up to the principle. Its a joke. We moved away from this school as fast as we could. If you can send you child to Sixes its a much better school and right around the corner. My son is going into third grade in a new school ( Cobb) starting on Thursday the 5th and we STILL HAVE not received our records that we requested over a month ago. A visit to the office today just confirmed the lazy and rude Staff at this school. I mean when you walk in and the lazy records worker is over 50 easily and wearing a birthday crown? I know its an elementary school but that is for the kids not the staff. Her excuse, I just haven't had the time. But you had time to hairspray that crown into your hair didn't you. Pathetic school because of the staff Good school ranking because the area it is in has great parents that do the staffs job in teaching the children. Close Quote
