Summary

Liberty Boulevard Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 410 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, located in a high-need community in South Gate where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall test scores are below state averages, it stands out for its effectiveness in supporting specific groups of students, such as English Learners, where its performance ranks in the 79th percentile statewide. The school has also made impressive progress, dramatically improving from historically low rankings and cutting chronic absenteeism nearly in half over three years. Compared to nearby schools like State Street Elementary and Independence Elementary, Liberty achieves similar or better academic results while spending slightly less per student, suggesting efficient use of resources.

There are some inconsistencies, like strong 3rd-grade math scores that drop in later grades, and performance can vary year-to-year for certain student groups. Among schools in the immediate area facing similar challenges, such as Academia Moderna and Graham Elementary, Liberty is a solid middle-tier option. Its continued focus on reducing absenteeism could help it reach the level of higher-performing neighbors like Stanford Avenue Elementary and Willow Elementary.
