Summary

Liberty High School is a public charter high school located in Dayton, Ohio, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 350 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Gem City Career Prep High School, David H. Ponitz Career Technology Center, and Dayton Early College Academy, Liberty High School's performance on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism is significantly lower.

Liberty High School has faced persistent challenges, with extremely low four-year graduation rates ranging from 25% to 37.7% over the past few years, compared to the state average. Additionally, the school has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 95.6% to 98.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. On state assessments, Liberty High School's proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with some subjects like Geometry and Biology having proficiency rates as low as 8.7% and 25%, respectively, compared to state averages of 42.8% and 65.4%.

The data analysis suggests that Liberty High School is facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed, as the school's performance has remained consistently poor over the past several years. While the reasons for these disparities are complex, the stark differences in performance between student subgroups, particularly for African American and low-socioeconomic status students, raise concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide a high-quality education for all students. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive review and intervention to support the school and its community.
