Summary

Liberty Elementary School is a K–5 school in Salem, Oregon serving about 400 students as part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J, a district ranked 105th of 141 in Oregon. Liberty ranked 498th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing in the 30th percentile with 1 star, and it has generally stayed in the 29th–38th percentile range over the past several years. It serves a high-poverty population: 89% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

In tested subjects, Liberty performs above its district average but below the state and below many nearby schools. ELA proficiency is 37.9% (district 34.5%, state 43.8%), math is 25.4% (district 24.1%, state 32.9%), and science is 21.8% (district 20.9%, state 30.6%). A striking contrast: nearby Candalaria Elementary School (66.4% ELA), Morningside Elementary School (60.1%), and Sumpter Elementary School (53.8%) report similar free/reduced-lunch rates near 88–89% yet post much stronger results. Resources look reasonably favorable, though: the student-teacher ratio of 18.6 is better than the nearby average of about 20.1, and per-student spending of $20,559 is only slightly below the nearby average.

There are bright spots and clear priorities. Fourth grade ELA (44.8%) is above both district and state, while third grade ELA (28.1%) and fifth grade math (18.7%, the weakest result) lag. Chronic absenteeism is 36.1%, better than the district's 43.1% but worse than the state's 33.5%, although it has improved from 47.6% in 2022–2023. Effectiveness rankings for Hispanic students have run above the school's overall ranking, while special education rankings sit in the bottom fifth statewide. Overall, Liberty's strengths are 4th grade reading, class size, and improving attendance; its priorities are early literacy, upper-grade math and science, chronic absenteeism, and special education support.
