Summary

Liberty Elementary is a public elementary school located in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 769 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 56 out of 139 districts in the state.

Academically, Liberty Elementary's performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the county and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics was 33.1% at Liberty Elementary, compared to 41% for Montgomery County and 42.2% for the state. Similar trends are observed in English Language Arts and Science, where Liberty Elementary's proficiency rates lag behind the county and state. The school's higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15% to 20.2% in recent years, may be contributing to its lower academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Liberty Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. For instance, Woodlawn Elementary, located about 3 miles away, consistently outperforms Liberty Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels. While Liberty Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $12,886 in the 2023-2024 school year, the impact on student outcomes is not yet evident. Addressing the school's challenges through targeted interventions and learning from the successes of higher-performing nearby schools could help improve student outcomes at Liberty Elementary.
