Summary

Liberty Grove Elementary in Rowlett, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Garland Independent School District (Isd) serving 484 students, with a high percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has shown a strong recent upward trend, climbing from the 27th percentile in the 2023-2024 school year to the 47th percentile in 2025-2026, a notable improvement compared to nearby schools like Nita Pearson Elementary and Back Elementary, which have seen stagnation or decline. However, Liberty Grove faces a significant math achievement gap, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at 27.27% in 2025-2026, far below the district average of 50.09% and the state average of 44.33%, making it the largest single-grade deficit in any subject among nearby Garland ISD schools.

Reading is a relative strength, with 4th-grade reading slightly exceeding the district average, but 3rd-grade reading remains below district levels, indicating foundational skills need attention. The school’s performance for vulnerable subgroups is highly inconsistent; for example, Special Education students ranked in the 82nd percentile in 2023-2024 but dropped to the 27th percentile in 2025-2026, while English Language Learners fell from the 70th to the 16th percentile over the same period. This volatility suggests a lack of stable support systems for these critical populations. Additionally, the school serves its White students significantly better than other demographic groups, with a 63rd percentile ranking compared to lower rankings for African American and Hispanic students, highlighting an achievement gap that needs addressing.

Liberty Grove is geographically surrounded by high-performing schools like Keeley Elementary (96th percentile) and Wally Watkins Elementary (99th percentile), both just over a mile away, yet they represent vastly different educational realities. Keeley, with a 37.8% free/reduced lunch rate, contrasts sharply with Liberty Grove’s 74.79% rate, illustrating how socio-economic factors correlate with school rankings. Notably, Liberty Grove’s per-student spending ($10,807) is higher than Keeley’s ($9,011), suggesting that funding alone is not the solution; the school must focus on improving math instruction and creating consistent support for all students to sustain its upward trajectory and close the gap with its high-performing neighbors.

Staff is very unprofessional. 99 of them are racist and prejudice. They constantly put down children of color. It’s disgusting. The principals do nothing about it. They brush it off and turn the other cheek. It’s sickening. Close Quote

In my opinion the PPCD program is lacking. The senior teacher is Mrs. Gayken. In my opinion this teacher is lackadaisical about her teaching. More than once she explained to me this was not the job she wanted. (She is teaching Pre-K and wanted to teach young adult.) I pulled my child from the school. Close Quote
