Summary:
The city of Liberty, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Liberty Independent School District (Isd). While the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of economically disadvantaged students, there are some standout performers that offer promise for the district.
Liberty High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.3% and a low dropout rate of 0.8% in 2022-2023. The school also performs better than the district and state averages on some STAAR End-of-Course exams, such as Biology and English II Reading. Meanwhile, Liberty Middle School impresses with a 95% proficiency rate on the Algebra I STAAR EOC exam in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
However, the district as a whole faces academic performance challenges, with most schools scoring below the state averages on STAAR assessments. Liberty Elementary in particular has low proficiency rates in reading and math, with many grades scoring below 50% proficient. The high rates of economically disadvantaged students across the district suggest that the schools may be facing significant resource and support challenges, but the data also points to potential opportunities for improvement, such as replicating the success seen in Algebra I at the middle school level.
