Summary

Liberty is a small PK–5 elementary school at 962 Carew Street in Springfield, MA, with 238 students, part of Springfield Public Schools — a district ranked 322nd of 351 in Massachusetts (8th percentile, 0 stars). Liberty's own statewide rank in 2025–2026 is 719th of 899, the 20th percentile, with 1 star.

In 2025–2026, Liberty's MCAS Next Generation proficiency rates were 22.64% in English Language Arts, 19.05% in math, and 35.90% in science — above district averages in all three subjects (district: 22.09% ELA, 17.37% math, 20.90% science) but below the state's 40.03% in ELA and 41.11% in math. Science, at 40.98% statewide, is Liberty's clear relative strength. The prior year was much stronger: 33.65% ELA, 25.96% math, and 57.14% science, with that science result topping every nearby school listed, including Alfred G. Zanetti Montessori Magnet School at 54.55%. The 2025–2026 dip dropped the school's rank from the 36th percentile (2 stars) to the 20th percentile (1 star).

Grade results differ sharply. Third grade beat district averages in ELA (34.38%) and math (25.81%), while fourth grade was the weak point at 11.43% in ELA and 8.57% in math — far below district and state. Fifth grade was mixed (23.08% in ELA and math, 35.90% in science). For subgroups, Hispanic students ranked at the 59th percentile in 2025–2026 (85th in 2024–2025) and low-income students at the 46th percentile (75th in 2024–2025), both above the school's overall rank; English Language Learner students (14th–22nd percentile) and special education students (20th–26th percentile) ranked lower. Among nearby schools, Liberty outperformed Benjamin Swan Elementary, Rebecca M Johnson, Springfield Public Day Elementary School, and Springfield International Academy at Johnson in most subjects, ran close to Glenwood, and trailed Edward P. Boland School, Mary O Pottenger, and Samuel Bowles. Zanetti Montessori, a magnet program, remains far ahead. Resources are typical for the area: $19,034 per student in 2020–2021 and a 12.2 student-to-teacher ratio in 2024–2025; free/reduced lunch data is unavailable and spending figures are dated.
