Liberty Elementary

The area has one listed school, Liberty Elementary, a K–8 school with 861 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades ELA result was 52%, compared with 49% statewide; math was 36% versus 38%, and science was 35% versus 36%. The most important finding is that these overall results hide a sharp grade-level swing: ELA ranged from 34% in grade 6 to 66% in grade 7, while grade 6 math was 24%.

Liberty Elementary is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this list because it is the only one, so there is no school-to-school comparison. Within the school, ELA stood out in grades 3, 7, and 8: results were 14 to 15 percentage points above state figures in each of those grades. Grade 6 was a clear weak spot: ELA was 14 points below the state, and math was 13 points below. Math was stronger in grade 4, at 45%, and the school also scored above the state in math in grades 7 and 8. These grade-specific differences matter more than a single schoolwide result when considering the experience across grades.

Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 2 percentage points and science rose 5, while math fell 3 as the state math result rose 1. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile declined from 65 to 51 over the same period; its latest rank was 2,829 of 5,804, compared with 2,067 of 5,869 in 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2025–26, 13 percentage points below the state’s 18%. Other context includes a 22.6:1 student–teacher ratio and 49% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; these figures do not establish what drives test results.
