Summary

Liberty Union High School is a 9–12 school in Baltimore, Ohio, serving 349 students as part of the Liberty Union-Thurston Local district. The school ranked 443rd of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (44th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 339th of 773 districts (56th percentile, 3 stars), placing the high school slightly below its district's overall standing. Its recent rank history shows a rise and then a pullback: the 58th percentile in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024, 52nd in 2024–2025, and 44th in 2025–2026.

Academically, the profile is sharply split. American Government (83.6%), American History (85.2%), Biology (72.1%), and English II (71.0%) all came in above state averages, and often ahead of larger neighbors such as Lancaster High School and Pickerington High School Central. Math is the clear weak spot: only 25.0% of students were proficient in Algebra I and 24.1% in Geometry, far below the state rates of 61.6% and 43.3% and below every comparable nearby school, including Fairfield Union High School, Bloom-Carroll High School, and Watkins Memorial High School. That math gap is the main factor holding the overall ranking back, though the small enrollment means year-to-year swings can be volatile.

Other measures are strong or improving. The 2025–2026 graduation rate of 99.0% is the highest among nearby listed schools, and chronic absenteeism fell from 24.4% to 16.9%, though that remains above the district's 10.1%. A student-teacher ratio of 11.9 in 2024–2025 is the lowest among comparable nearby high schools, and with 349 students the school is far smaller than Pickerington High School North (1,761) or Lancaster (1,995). One bright spot: Special Education Students ranked in the 81st percentile statewide with 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 59th–63rd percentile range in the two prior years.
