With a spending per student of $8,738 for the 2018-2019 school year, Liberty Elementary appears to be operating on a limited budget, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Without information on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it's difficult to determine the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance.
