Liberty

The Liberty school district in Oklahoma operates three schools: Liberty Elementary School, Liberty High School, and Liberty Middle School. The data reveals that the Liberty schools are collectively underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and low district and statewide rankings across all three schools.

Liberty Elementary School stands out with particularly low test scores, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and a very low district and statewide ranking, placing it in the bottom 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools. Liberty High School also struggles, with a graduation rate below the state average, low test scores, and a low district and statewide ranking in the bottom 20% of Oklahoma high schools. Liberty Middle School follows a similar pattern, with low test scores and a low district and statewide ranking in the bottom 15% of Oklahoma middle schools.

Across the Liberty school district, there are consistently high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 72.48% to 85.37%, suggesting that the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student between the elementary and high school levels, which may indicate a need for more equitable resource allocation. Additionally, the higher student-teacher ratio at Liberty Middle School could be a contributing factor to the lower performance at that level. Overall, the Liberty school district appears to be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive improvement strategy to address the root causes of the underperformance.
