Summary

Liberty Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 514 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Liberty 53 school district, which is ranked 70 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Liberty Oaks has shown a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, it has performed relatively well in English Language Arts, with 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates often exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school's performance on state assessments in mathematics and science is generally below the district and state averages. Notably, the school's Hispanic students have consistently ranked among the top 11% of Missouri elementary schools, indicating strong performance for this subgroup.

Liberty Oaks Elementary faces some challenges, particularly in its higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the district and state. The school's ranking for low-income students has declined, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be impacting student learning and academic outcomes. While the school performs relatively well compared to some nearby schools, such as Manor Hill Elementary and Franklin Elementary, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the district, such as Shoal Creek Elementary and Epic Elementary.
