Summary

Libertas School of Memphis is a public charter school in Memphis, TN serving 576 students in Pre-K through 7th grade under the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission. In just three years, the school has climbed from the 17th to the 42nd percentile in statewide rankings — a jump of roughly 255 spots — and now sits solidly in the middle of the pack while most nearby schools in the Frayser area remain in the bottom quartile. This steady upward trajectory has earned the school a 2-star state rating, up from 1 star in 2023, and its performance now exceeds district averages in every tested subject.

Academically, Libertas outperforms nearly every school in its immediate area. Its math proficiency rate of 37.2%, ELA rate of 33.9%, and science rate of 37.8% far surpass the low single-digit and teen scores seen at nearby Memphis-Shelby County Schools like Georgian Hills Elementary School and Lucie E. Campbell Elementary School. Only Memphis STEM Academy scores higher in core subjects, and Libertas exceeds the state average in social studies (56.1% vs. 51.4% statewide). Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism is just 15.6%, well below the state average of 18.3% and dramatically better than nearby schools like Cornerstone Prep Denver Campus School (42.7%) and Frayser-Corning Elementary School (45.4%). Math proficiency has essentially doubled since 2023, and science proficiency has climbed 16 percentage points over the same period.

There are a few areas to watch. Seventh-grade reading is the school's clearest weakness at 22.0% proficiency, well below the state average of 35.9%, and special education outcomes slipped to the 30th percentile most recently. Libertas also spends more per student ($18,438) than any nearby school, though Memphis STEM Academy achieves slightly higher scores with lower funding. Still, for families in the area, Libertas stands out as a school clearly moving in the right direction — one that has made substantial, measurable progress in academics and attendance and appears well-positioned for continued growth.
