Summary

Liberty Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hobart, Indiana, serving 408 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the School City of Hobart district, which is ranked 157 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Elementary School consistently outperforms the School City of Hobart district and the state of Indiana in math proficiency, with 60.49% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/Math compared to 43.13% for the district and 51.5% for the state. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) is more mixed, as it outperforms the district in 3rd and 5th grade ELA but lags behind in 4th grade. Liberty Elementary School's science and social studies proficiency rates are also lower than the district and state averages. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% in 2020-2021 to 20.4% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

When compared to nearby schools, Liberty Elementary School generally outperforms schools within the School City of Hobart district, such as Joan Martin Elementary and Veterans Elementary School at Mundell, in both math and ELA proficiency. However, when compared to schools in other districts, such as Central Elementary (Portage Township Schools) and Virgil I. Bailey Elementary (Lake Station Community Schools), Liberty Elementary School's performance is more mixed, with some grades and subjects lagging behind. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which has increased from 43.21% in 2021-2022 to 56.86% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may impact academic performance and other factors.
