Summary

Located in Liberty, Illinois, Liberty High School serves grades 6–12 and enrolls 253 students. Its clearest standout is its high-school testing: in 2025–2026, 62% of 11th graders were proficient in each ACT subject—ELA, math and science—putting the school above state rates in all three and ahead of nearby schools in math and science.

ACT and PreACT results are among the school’s strongest comparisons: its ACT math rate was 12 points above the next-highest nearby result, at Central High School, and its science rate was 2 points above Western High School. The main concern is all-grades IAR math: 42% were proficient, 8 points below Liberty CUSD 2, though 2 points above the state. IAR ELA was 64%, 7 points above the state and 1 point below the district. The math picture varies by grade: results were above the state in grades 6–8, while grade 6 ELA was 7 points below. Graduation was 95%, above the state’s 90%; chronic absenteeism was 11%, below the state’s 24% but 2 points above the district.

All-grades IAR proficiency rose from 59% to 64% in ELA and from 34% to 42% in math between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, but the state improved faster, narrowing the school’s leads. SchoolDigger ranks it 81st of 620 statewide, at the 87th percentile with 4 stars—the highest percentile among the nearby schools. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 11.9, close to the nearby average of 12.1, and 29% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 49%; these are context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings also shifted sharply: its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 91st to the 42nd percentile between 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, while the ranking for Disabled Students fell from the 39th to the 8th percentile. These rankings are not direct measures of individual students’ outcomes and do not explain the changes.
