Summary

Liberty Center Elementary School is the only elementary school in the Liberty Center Local district, serving 413 students in grades K–4 in rural northwest Ohio, where the nearest comparable schools are roughly 8 to 15 miles away. In 2025-26 the school earned a 4-star rating and ranked 215th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, and its district ranks 62nd of 773 statewide.

Test scores are the headline. On 2025-26 state tests, 82.5% of third graders and 88.5% of fourth graders were proficient in math, and 81.3% and 79.3% in English language arts — about 20 points above state averages in every case. Averaged over four tested years, math proficiency is about 88% against a state figure near 65%, and ELA about 81% against about 62%. Among nearby schools, only Whitehouse Primary School (~96%) and Waterville Primary School (~93%) post higher Grade 3–4 averages; Liberty Center (~83%) is essentially tied with Patrick Henry Elementary School and ahead of Pettisville Elementary School, Holgate Elementary School, Otsego Elementary School and Wauseon Elementary School. Results have been steady for years: the school has stayed in the 86th–91st percentile since 2020-21, up from the 71st in 2016-17, while neighbors like Delta Elementary School have swung more widely.

Two other points stand out. Chronic absenteeism fell from 16.6% to 4.6% in two years and now sits near 5.5%, below the district and better than most nearby schools. The school's low-income students have also ranked as high as the 95th percentile — above the school's own overall standing, the reverse of the usual pattern. Note that 2025-26 brought small declines in several subgroup results and the lowest overall rank since 2022-23; given a decade-long upward trend, one year is not yet a pattern. Per-student spending was $11,742 in 2018-19 (dated) and the student-teacher ratio is 16.5, mid-pack among peers.
