Lillian Schumacher Elementary is a public elementary school located in Liberty, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 457. The school is part of the Liberty 53 school district, which is ranked 70 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lillian Schumacher Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Missouri elementary schools, typically between 300-400 out of around 900 schools, and has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating average performance compared to other Missouri elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Liberty 53 district and the state of Missouri averages, particularly in Mathematics. In contrast, nearby schools like Shoal Creek Elementary and Lewis and Clark Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates, outperforming Lillian Schumacher across multiple grade levels and subject areas.

Lillian Schumacher also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.6% to 21.5% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.71% to 35.01% over the past few years. While these socioeconomic factors can impact academic performance, the school's proximity to higher-performing institutions within the same district suggests that there may be opportunities for Lillian Schumacher to learn from its peers and implement strategies to enhance student learning and achievement.
