Summary

North Liberty School is an elementary school in North Liberty, Indiana, serving 469 students in grades K-6. It is part of the John Glenn School Corporation, which is ranked 78 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While North Liberty School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges. Its proficiency rates on ILEARN assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the lower grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 36.59%, compared to 44.67% for the district and 40.3% for the state. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.7% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district's rate of 13.9%. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has also increased, from 39.58% in 2021-2022 to 49.89% in 2023-2024, higher than the district's 44.83%.

Interestingly, Walkerton Elementary School, another school in the John Glenn School Corporation, outperforms North Liberty School in most academic metrics. In contrast, schools in the South Bend Community School Corporation, such as Monroe Elementary and Harrison Elementary, have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to North Liberty School. Additionally, North Liberty School's statewide ranking has dropped from 145 out of 1,031 Indiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 399 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, indicating a decline in performance over time.
