Summary:
The Liberty Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Liberty Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school's performance is consistently below the state average on standardized assessments, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Liberty Middle School is ranked 1410 out of 1500 New York middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 21.14% (7th grade) to 37.19% (5th grade), compared to the state average of 50.86% to 56.61%. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 15.15% (6th grade) to 29.17% (5th grade), compared to the state average of 51.2% to 56.47%. The school's performance on Regents exams is also below the state average.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $31,191 for the 2023-2024 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, the school's struggles suggest that there may be other factors contributing to its poor performance, such as challenges in the broader community or district-level issues. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (62.33% in 2023-2024) indicates that the school serves a high-need population, which may require additional resources and support to help improve student outcomes.
