Summary:
Liberty Hill, Texas, is home to six elementary schools serving approximately 4,022 students, primarily within the high-performing Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd), with one school belonging to the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd).
For parents, the standout school is Santa Rita Elementary, which leads the city with the highest state ranking (84th percentile) and top 5th-grade Reading (82.95%) and Science (47.01%) scores. In contrast, Liberty Hill Elementary is the lowest-ranked school (71st percentile) and the only one to receive a 3-star rating, despite spending the most per student ($11,619). Bill Burden Elementary has seen a notable decline, dropping from the 85th to the 73rd percentile over three years. San Gabriel Elementary is an outlier: despite being in the lower-ranked Georgetown ISD, it ranks high (82nd percentile) and posted the city’s best 3rd-grade Reading score (87.76%), but also the lowest Science score (10.26%) and volatile Math results. Newer schools like Tierra Rosa Elementary and San Gabriel show strong initial rankings, while Louine Noble Elementary achieves solid results with the lowest spending ($8,007).
Key takeaways include a consistent math challenge across all schools, with Math proficiency lagging behind Reading. The data also reveals a spending paradox: higher spending does not guarantee better performance, as seen with Liberty Hill Elementary. Overall, while Liberty Hill ISD is a top-tier district, individual school leadership can overcome district trends, making it essential for parents to look beyond district rankings when choosing a school.
