Summary

Liberty Avenue Middle School is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 431 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #19, which is ranked 726 out of 874 districts in the state.

While Liberty Avenue Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, it stands out for its exceptional performance on the Regents Algebra I exam, with 100% proficiency in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district (29.55%) and state (56.07%) averages. However, the school's overall academic performance, including state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, is generally below the district and state averages. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with some, such as English Language Learners and Homeless students, performing relatively well, while others, like Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students, lag behind.

Nearby schools in the same district, such as School Of The Future Brooklyn and Middle School 935, also face academic challenges, with most schools ranking in the bottom half of New York middle schools. However, Vista Academy, located within the same building as Liberty Avenue Middle School, consistently outperforms its counterpart on state assessments and has a higher overall ranking.
