Summary

Liberty Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 694 students in grades PK-5 in Port Charlotte, Florida. It is part of the Charlotte County School District, which is ranked 27th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Elementary faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 30.5% to 32.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Deep Creek Elementary (31.4%) and Meadow Park Elementary (31.4%). The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.11% to 71.76%, much higher than the state and district averages, as well as the rates of nearby schools.

Liberty Elementary's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in math and science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 51% of 5th graders were proficient or better in science, compared to 52% in the district and 55% statewide. In math, 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates ranged from 60-69%, lower than the district and state averages. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $13,272 in 2023-2024, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for students. Over the past several years, Liberty Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, suggesting that the school is underperforming compared to its peers across the state.
