Summary

Liberty Elementary in Liberty, TX, serves 685 students in grades 2 through 5 within the Liberty Independent School District (Isd), and is currently rated with 1 star, placing it in the 17th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school has experienced a significant academic decline over the past five years, dropping from a 3-star rating (53rd percentile) to its current 1-star status. The most pressing concern is in mathematics, where proficiency rates hover around 26-34% across grades 3-5, which is roughly 15-20 percentage points below the state average. Reading scores show an inconsistent pattern, with 5th-grade reading (53% proficiency) performing much closer to the state average than 3rd and 4th-grade reading (36% and 34% respectively). For comparison, nearby Barbers Hill Elementary North (98th percentile) and Devers Elementary (99th percentile) maintain elite performance levels, while Hardin Elementary (13th percentile) and Hull-Daisetta Elementary (12th percentile) face similar challenges. Notably, Devers Elementary achieves its top rankings with lower spending per student ($9,676 vs. Liberty's $11,427) and a slightly better student-to-teacher ratio (16.5 vs. 17.9), suggesting that instructional quality and school culture may be key factors.

A critical area of concern is the extreme performance gap for students taking the STAAR test in Spanish, with some grade levels showing 0% proficiency in math and reading. All student subgroups at Liberty Elementary rank in the bottom 31% or lower, with the most dramatic declines seen among White students (dropping to the 5th percentile) and low socio-economic status students (falling from the 53rd to the 12th percentile in just one year). The one bright spot is 5th-grade science, where Liberty's 21.67% proficiency rate, while low, actually outperforms several nearby schools like Austin Elementary (10.07%) and Kimmie M Brown Elementary (9.3%).
