Additionally, Liberty Elementary School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 35.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Liberty Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Danville CCSD 118 district, it becomes clear that the academic performance issues are not isolated to Liberty. The other schools in the district, such as Southwest Elementary, Meade Park Elementary, and Mark Denman Elementary, also struggle with low proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, as well as high chronic absenteeism. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for all students.
