Summary

Liberty Elementary is a K–6 school in Riverside Unified, serving 651 students in Riverside, California, near schools in both Riverside and Alvord unified districts. Its latest results are below the state and district in all three reported subjects, and science is the clearest concern: 8% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 32% in the district.

Compared with nearby schools, math is Liberty Elementary’s strongest subject: its 28% proficiency rate ranked fifth of 11 schools and exceeded the nearby-school average of 26%, although it remained below Riverside Unified at 34% and California at 38%. ELA was 31%, slightly below the nearby average of 32% and ranking seventh of 11; it also trailed the district at 47% and the state at 49%. Science ranked tenth of 11, with only Arlanza Elementary lower; nearby schools averaged 21%. Fifth grade stands out as a particular weak spot, especially in ELA, where Liberty Elementary ranked last among the 11 schools.

Results show a mixed longer-term picture: math rose from 24% in 2022–2023 to 28% in 2025–2026, while ELA slipped from 33% to 31% despite a recent rebound, and science fell from 13% to 8%. SchoolDigger placed Liberty Elementary at the 27th statewide percentile, with 1 star, for 2025–2026. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 25.5:1, the highest among the nearby schools, and 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—close to the nearby average of 89%; these are context, not explanations for test results. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that the statewide percentile for Female Students rose from 20 in 2024–2025 to 41 in 2025–2026, a 21-point gain; the latest percentile was 14 points above the school’s overall percentile of 27, reflecting a notable change in how well the school serves this group.
