Summary

Liberty Elementary serves 721 students in grades K–5 in Lexington’s Fayette County. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above district and state results in every reported subject, and SchoolDigger ranked it 109th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 84th percentile with four stars. The school’s most distinctive academic results were in fifth-grade Social Studies and Editing and Mechanics.

Those two subjects are where Liberty most clearly stands out among nearby schools: 65% of fifth graders were proficient in Social Studies, compared with 44% districtwide and 38% statewide; only Ashland Elementary School scored higher nearby. In Editing and Mechanics, Liberty scored 72%, versus 52% for the district, 48% for the state and about 44% for nearby schools on average. Science was a relative soft spot against nearby schools: Liberty’s fourth-grade result was 49%, about 3 points above the nearby average, though still above the district’s 42% and state’s 40%. Writing had its smallest district advantage, at 45% versus 39%.

Liberty’s overall SchoolDigger percentile rose from 62 in 2021–2022 to 84 in 2025–2026, although it remains below its 91st-percentile peak in 2016–2017. Results improved in several subjects from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, including 15 points each in Social Studies and Editing and Mechanics; the state-relative advantage also widened in those subjects. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show a notable gap: Special Education Students ranked at the 48th percentile, compared with 84th overall, while African American Students ranked at the 94th percentile, up from 73rd in 2023–2024. As context, the student-teacher ratio was 14.2 in 2024–2025, and 42% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—near the middle of the nearby-school range.
