Summary:
Liberty Charter District in Madera, California, contains a single elementary school, Liberty Charter, which serves grades K-8 with 704 students.
This school serves a community with significant economic need, with over 91% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but it receives substantial funding at over $28,000 per student. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are significantly below California state averages. However, it shows a clear positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking from the 7th percentile to the 14th percentile over the past three years and earning a one-star rating after previously having none. Performance varies notably by grade, with 3rd grade math and 7th grade English being relative strengths, while 6th grade scores are particularly low.
A standout strength for Liberty Charter is student attendance; its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.7% is less than half the state average, indicating a strong school culture for daily engagement. The main challenge is translating its high per-student funding and good attendance into higher academic achievement across all grade levels within the Liberty Charter District.
