Summary:
The 12754 zip code is home to a single public high school, Liberty High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Liberty Central School District. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, it has faced declining performance in recent years, with a statewide ranking that has dropped from 712 out of 1,228 New York high schools in 2022-2023 to 835 out of 1,234 in 2024-2025, and a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Liberty High School's academic performance is generally below the state average, with the exception of Algebra II and Geometry, where the school outperforms the state. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% and a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 84.3%. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students (44.39%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, Liberty High School is still underperforming compared to the state average, which raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the school's academic challenges, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.
