Summary

Liberty Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 391 students in grades PK-5 in Liberty, Kentucky. It is part of the Casey County School District, which is ranked 104 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Liberty Elementary School performs better than the Casey County district average in some areas, such as 3rd grade reading, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Science Hill Elementary and Russell Springs Elementary in neighboring districts.

Liberty Elementary School's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups.

In contrast, Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students perform better, ranking in the top 50% and top 35% respectively. The school's per-student spending has fluctuated over the years, ranging from $13,695 in 2020-2021 to $30,787 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools.
