Summary

Liberty Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Liberty, NC serving 411 students as part of the Randolph County School System. Nearly all students (99.27%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school currently ranks in the 20th percentile statewide (1,188th of 1,492 elementary schools) with a 1-star rating — a steady decline from 2020–21, when it ranked in the 49th percentile with 2 stars.

Academically, Liberty trails district and state averages in nearly every subject, especially reading. Third-grade reading proficiency is 25.8% — about 30 points below the state average and 23 below the district average — and no tested grade reaches the district average in reading. Math is somewhat stronger: 4th-grade math hit 59.7%, above the district and nearly matching the state. Nearby schools with similar poverty levels do far better, however. Nathanael Greene Elementary, 6.6 miles away, serves a nearly identical student poverty rate but posted 68.2% third-grade reading proficiency and 86.4% third-grade math — roughly 40 and 38 points ahead of Liberty. Franklinville Elementary and Grays Chapel Elementary also outperform Liberty despite similar poverty rates.

Liberty has genuine bright spots. Chronic absenteeism is 20.8%, lower than the district rate (22.5%) and the state rate (24.2%), suggesting a stable base of attendance. The school has also shown past strength in 5th-grade science, which previously exceeded state averages, and current 4th-grade math nearly reaches the state mark. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.8 to 1 — higher than nearby schools such as Ramseur Elementary — Liberty faces some instructional pressure. But because comparable high-poverty schools nearby produce much stronger results, the potential for improvement is real, particularly through early-literacy investment.
