Elementary Schools in Liberty Central School District

Summary:

The Liberty Central School District in New York contains only one elementary school, Liberty Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 683 students. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 and higher-than-average spending per student of $28,890, Liberty Elementary School is a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools for the past three years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the state average on the 2024-2025 New York State Assessments, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math for 3rd and 4th grades lagging behind. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 54.47% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. These socioeconomic challenges may contribute to the school's persistent struggles to improve student outcomes.

While the school's funding and resources appear to be adequate, the focus may need to shift to other factors, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, or school leadership, in order to address the school's consistently low performance. Compared to the Liberty Central School District and the state of New York as a whole, Liberty Elementary School is a clear outlier, and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student achievement and provide a high-quality education for its students.
