Summary

Liberty is an elementary school in Springfield, MA that serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 246 students. While the school is part of the low-performing Springfield school district, Liberty has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Liberty's test scores on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.65% of Liberty students were proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 41.53%, and only 25.96% were proficient or better in Mathematics compared to the state average of 40.74%. However, Liberty's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students perform relatively well compared to other Massachusetts schools, ranking in the top 25-30% for those subgroups.

While Liberty struggles overall, the nearby Glenwood, Alfred G. Zanetti Montessori Magnet, and Edward P. Boland schools generally perform better on the MCAS assessments. For example, Alfred G. Zanetti Montessori Magnet has significantly higher proficiency rates across all grades and subjects, ranking in the top 30-35% of Massachusetts elementary schools.
