Summary:
ZIP code 43532 is home to three public schools — Liberty Center Elementary School (grades K–4, 413 students), Liberty Center Middle School (grades 5–8, 293 students), and Liberty Center High School (grades 9–12, 306 students). All three belong to the Liberty Center Local district, share the same campus at 100 Tiger Trail, and together enroll 1,012 students. The district ranks 62nd of 773 Ohio districts — the 92nd percentile — with a 5-star rating.
Comparing the three, the middle school is the academic standout: 34th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools, the 97th percentile, 5 stars, with 100% Algebra I proficiency in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025 and 5th grade math at 92.4% versus 59.1% statewide. The elementary school is also strong at the 86th percentile with 4 stars, and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 5.5%. The high school holds 4 stars and the 84th percentile, posts a 100% graduation rate, and scores 94.9% in American History versus 73.2% statewide, but its chronic absenteeism of 12.7% is higher than the district's 7.7% and far above the other two schools. Its lowest reported subject is Geometry at 58.8%, still 15.5 points above the state.
Every reported test at every school beat the Ohio average in both years shown. The high school has the smallest classes (10.5:1) and the lowest 2018–2019 per-student spending ($9,912), while the elementary school has the highest ($11,742) and the middle school the largest classes (17.2:1). Only the high school reports free/reduced lunch data, at 89.54%; the elementary and middle school figures are not reported, so that metric cannot be compared across schools. Overall, this is a high-performing district where the middle school leads, the elementary school pairs solid academics with low absenteeism, and the high school's attendance is the main area to watch.
