Summary

Liberty Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 168 students in grades K-6 in the Southern Tioga School District in Pennsylvania. The school has consistently received a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the lower half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, and the district as a whole is also rated 2 stars and ranks 354 out of 606 districts in the state.

Liberty Elementary School's academic performance is a mixed bag. While the school's 3rd-grade math and English language arts proficiency rates exceed the state and district averages, its overall math and English language arts proficiency rates across all grade levels are generally lower than the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in 5th and 6th-grade math, where proficiency rates are around 30-35%, significantly below the state and district averages. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 7.3 to 10.5 over the past few years, and its per-student spending has increased, reaching $17,427 in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby schools.

The school's performance also shows significant disparities between different student subgroups. The performance of male students and white students is notably lower than the state and district averages, while the performance of female students and low socioeconomic status students is relatively stronger. These inconsistencies across grade levels and subgroups suggest that the school and district may need to examine their curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to better support the academic growth of all students at Liberty Elementary School.
