Summary

Liberty Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 578 students in Ontario, California, as part of the Chino Valley Unified district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results in a high-need community.

The school has shown remarkable improvement, jumping to a 4-star state rating and now ranking in the top 25% of all California elementary schools. This success is especially notable because Liberty excels at serving its student population, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are well above the state average. A key factor in this growth is a dramatic improvement in student attendance. When compared to nearby schools with similar challenges, like Howard Cattle Elementary or Alicia Cortez Elementary, Liberty's academic performance is significantly stronger.

Liberty's story challenges common assumptions by demonstrating that high academic achievement is possible in any community. The school achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than many schools in the neighboring Ontario-Montclair district while outperforming them. While the school's performance has historically fluctuated, its current trajectory and specific strengths, like exceptional 5th-grade English scores, make it a compelling success story. The main challenge ahead will be sustaining this high level of performance and addressing a dip in 4th-grade math scores to ensure all grades are equally strong.

What people are saying

Thursday, January 26, 2017

Open Quote Teachers and principal are horrible. No follow through and teachers are rude to the parents. They are not necessarily rude to the students but to the parents and they don't care that you the parent think or feel like they don't like your child. Teachers don't care to make a good first impression. Close Quote
