Summary
Liberty is a K–4 elementary school in Braintree, MA, serving 367 students in a relatively strong district that ranks 82nd of 351 Massachusetts districts.
In 2025–2026, Liberty ranked 215th of 899 elementary schools statewide (76th percentile, 4 stars), and its MCAS Next Generation proficiency was above both district and state averages: 52.1% in ELA and 59.64% in math, compared with Braintree at 48.81% ELA and 56.19% math and Massachusetts at 40.03% ELA and 41.11% math. Among Braintree elementary peers, Liberty placed 4th of 6, behind Hollis (87th percentile), Mary E Flaherty School (85), and Highlands (79), and ahead of Donald Ross (66) and Archie T Morrison (51). Math is a relative strength, especially in 4th grade (58.76% proficient vs. 55.09% district and 43.2% state) and 3rd-grade math (60.87% vs. 60.81% district and 42.19% state). The clearest weak spot is 3rd-grade ELA at 50%, below the district’s 55.08% but above the state’s 42.79%. A 2022–2023 science result of 84.13% was exceptionally high, but it is historical.
Liberty’s all-grades ELA proficiency has declined from 64.14% in 2022–2023 to 52.1% in 2025–2026, while math has been steadier. Its statewide rank percentile slipped from 86 in 2022–2023 to 76, though it has kept a 4-star rating. The school appears relatively efficient: its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 13.2 is the highest among Braintree peers, and its 2020–2021 per-student spending of $16,362 is lower than several peers, yet it still posts above-district and above-state proficiency. It also outperforms nearby out-of-district schools such as Randolph’s J F Kennedy Elementary (17.58% ELA, 24.39% math, $25,979 per student), Weymouth’s William Seach (27.85% ELA, 31.85% math), Holbrook’s John F Kennedy (35.12% ELA, 34.01% math), Weymouth’s Thomas V Nash (31.39% ELA, 44.53% math), and Weymouth’s Frederick C Murphy (46.56% ELA, 53.44% math). For subgroup effectiveness, low-socioeconomic-status students are a standout, ranking in the 85th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026, while special education students ranked 65th percentile (3 stars).
