Summary:
The 64762 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Liberal R-II school district: Liberal Elementary, Liberal High, and Liberal Middle. While the elementary and middle schools perform reasonably well, Liberal High stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 1st out of 367 Missouri high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Liberal High boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and students who significantly outperform the state average on End of Course exams, with 94.6% proficient or better in English II compared to the state average of 52.9%. The school also spends $14,144 per student, well above the state average. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools have higher rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39% to 54.55%, indicating a relatively disadvantaged student population.
Across all 3 schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is on the higher end at 9.7%, which is an area of concern for the district. However, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 8.7 to 10.5, suggesting a focus on personalized attention. Overall, the Liberal R-II school district appears to be performing well, particularly at the high school level, despite the economic challenges faced by its student population.
