Liberty High consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Liberty High schools in Kentucky, with significantly below-average academic performance across various subjects, including ACT English, Math, and Reading, as well as Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) in subjects like Social Studies and Editing/Mechanics. The school's four-year graduation rates are also extremely low, ranging from 13.6% in 2023-2024 to 0% in 2020-2021, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. Liberty High's performance is particularly low for specific student subgroups, such as African American students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Newcomer Academy, Southern High, and Atherton High, generally perform better than Liberty High across various metrics, including academic performance, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance. This suggests that Liberty High has significant room for improvement, and addressing the underlying issues may require a comprehensive approach, such as implementing targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and collaborating with the community to address the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes.
