Summary

Liberty School is an elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 378 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Salt Lake District, which is ranked 55 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Liberty School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Utah elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 540 out of 547 schools.

Liberty School faces several significant challenges. It has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 48.1% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts were all below 27% in 2024-2025, while the district and state averages were around 40-50%. Additionally, over 98% of Liberty School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low-income student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Uintah School and Hawthorne School have significantly higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of low-income students. This suggests that Liberty School is struggling to provide quality education to its students, despite spending $13,128 per student, which is higher than the nearby schools. Addressing the unique needs of Liberty School's student population and improving the school's educational practices will be crucial to helping these students succeed.
