Liberation Diploma Plus consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New York high schools, with significantly below-average performance on state exams across all subject areas. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 36.8% to 84.3% over the past 3 years, much lower than the district and state averages.
