Summary

Liberty Middle is a public middle school located in Lemoore, California, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 676 students. It is part of the Lemoore Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 591 out of 1,565 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Middle consistently outperforms the Lemoore Union Elementary district and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Liberty Middle had 60.65% proficiency in ELA/Literacy End of Course, compared to 52.24% for the district and 48.81% for the state. The school also outperforms the district and state in CAST Science assessments. Liberty Middle's performance is particularly strong for Hispanic students, who rank in the top 25% of California middle schools in ELA/Literacy.

Compared to nearby schools, Liberty Middle generally outperforms Lemoore University Elementary Charter and Bridges Academy in academic assessments, particularly in ELA/Literacy and Mathematics. However, Lemoore University Elementary Charter has a stronger performance for English Language Learners, and Bridges Academy has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 7:1, which may contribute to its strong performance for students with disabilities. Liberty Middle's high percentage of low-socioeconomic students is a notable challenge, but the school appears to be effectively supporting these students. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 15.9% to 24.9% over the past few years, will be an important focus area for the school going forward.
