Summary

Liberty High School is a public high school located in Youngstown, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 524 students. The school is part of the Liberty Local school district. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate compared to the state average, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools over the past 10 years and received low ratings from SchoolDigger.com.

One of the key challenges facing Liberty High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 39.5% to 48.1% in recent years - significantly higher than the state average and much worse than nearby high-performing schools like Mathews High School (22.1% chronic absenteeism) and McDonald High School (19.2%). The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are also consistently below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

While Liberty High School performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic student populations, it struggles to effectively serve its White, Special Education, and Gifted/Talented students, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of Ohio schools for those subgroups. With an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely has access to additional resources, but the data suggests these resources may not be allocated or utilized effectively. Despite the challenges, the school's relatively high graduation rates and strong performance for certain subgroups indicate that there may be opportunities to build upon existing strengths and implement targeted interventions to improve outcomes across the board.
