In recent years, Liberty High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 389 out of 1,237 New York high schools in 2013-2014 to 835 out of 1,234 in 2024-2025. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars. Liberty High School performs particularly poorly for certain student subgroups, such as female students, white students, English Language Learners, students with special needs, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York high schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Ellenville Junior/Senior High School, Sullivan West High School, Monticello High School, Tri-Valley Secondary School, Fallsburg Junior Senior High School, and Livingston Manor High School, Liberty High School generally underperforms in terms of statewide ranking, student group performance, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and aligning its curriculum and instructional practices with state standards could help improve student outcomes at Liberty High School.
