Summary

Liberty Elementary School is a K–5 school in Powell, OH serving about 425 students as part of the Worthington City district, which makes it one of the smaller elementaries in its Worthington cluster. In 2025–26 it ranked 418th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 73rd percentile, 4 stars — a little below its own district's overall standing (78th percentile) but solidly in the top third of the state. Over the past decade Liberty has never dropped below the 66th percentile or climbed above the 78th, so families should expect consistently above-average results rather than dramatic swings in either direction.

Its strongest story is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 15.7% in 2021–22 to 6.0% in 2025–26 — less than half the district rate — even as the share of economically disadvantaged students rose to 32.5%. Among nearby schools, only Tyler Run (4.4%) and Scioto Ridge (4.9%) do better, and Liberty beats every same-district peer, including Worthington Hills (6.4%) and Bluffsview (7.8%). Third-grade math is another standout at 93.0% proficiency, versus 78.1% district and 62.1% state — the highest in the comparison set, just ahead of Bluffsview (90.2) and Worthington Hills (90.8). Fifth grade is the clear soft spot: in 2025–26 Liberty trailed every same-district peer in 5th-grade science and all except Granby in ELA, and one tracked cohort slipped from 88.6% math proficiency in 4th grade to 75.8% in 5th.

Compared with schools serving similar populations, Liberty appears to add real value. Worthington Estates has almost the same poverty rate (32.3% vs 32.5%) yet ranks at the 65th percentile with 13.8% chronic absenteeism, while Olde Sawmill and Hopewell serve poorer populations and sit mid-pack in the state. Subgroup results are more uneven: English learners fell from the 79th to the 53rd percentile in a single year, and special education has swung from 55th to 89th to 64th, so those areas are worth watching.
