Summary

Liberty High is a small grades 9–12 school in Benicia, California, serving 43 students. In 2025–2026, 20% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 8% in math and 17% in science; chronic absenteeism was 71%. The central concern is that very low achievement across all three subjects coincides with exceptionally high absenteeism.

Liberty is below the state and Benicia Unified in every subject. ELA proficiency was 20%, versus 49% statewide and 57% in the district; math was 8%, versus 38% and 54%; science was 17%, versus 36% and 47%. Science is the strongest subject relative to those benchmarks, while math is the weakest against the district. Liberty also trails nearby-school averages: 41% in ELA, 24% in math and 26% in science, compared with Liberty’s 20%, 8% and 17%. Among nearby schools with reportable results, Liberty is third-lowest in all three subjects. Absenteeism is also far above the state’s 18% and the district’s 14%.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 7 percentage points, math 8 and science 9, while the gaps with the state narrowed by 4, 4 and 3 points, respectively. However, the gaps with the district widened slightly. SchoolDigger ranks Liberty in the 22nd percentile statewide and gives it one star; its percentile has risen from 7 in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness percentile rose 16 points for Male Students, from 5 to 21, and 16 points for Low Socio Economic Status Students, from 2 to 18; these are improved relative standings, not high statewide rankings. Liberty has 9.2 students per teacher, compared with a nearby-school average of 18.5. In 2024–2025, 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the third-lowest share among nearby schools with that measure.
