Summary:
The Liberty Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Liberty Elementary and San Jacinto Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, with Liberty Elementary focusing on grades 2-5 and San Jacinto Elementary serving pre-K and 1st grade.
Liberty Elementary has a student population of 696 and is ranked 3,720 out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school underperforms the state average in STAAR/Reading, STAAR/Mathematics, and STAAR/Science proficiency rates. Additionally, Liberty Elementary has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 62.5%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, San Jacinto Elementary has a student population of 451 and a very high free and reduced lunch rate of 71.84%.
Both schools have similar resource allocations, with Liberty Elementary spending $11,427 per student and San Jacinto Elementary spending $11,724 per student. The student-teacher ratios are also comparable, with Liberty Elementary at 17.3 and San Jacinto Elementary at 17.6. However, despite the relatively high spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to underperform, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
