Summary

Liberty Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 563 students in the Kerman Unified district, standing out as a consistently strong performer within its local educational community.

It also shows notable strength in supporting its student population, achieving higher rankings for its Hispanic and low-income students compared to many schools statewide. Furthermore, Liberty Elementary maintains lower chronic absenteeism rates than its district and California averages, indicating good student engagement.
