Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Liberty Leadership Academy is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cottonwood, Arizona, with just 53 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it is struggling academically compared to the state and nearby schools in the area.

According to the key insights, only 13% of 3rd graders and 29% of 4th graders at Liberty Leadership Academy were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly below the state averages of 41% and 43% respectively. The school's overall statewide ranking is 999 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 20%.
