Summary

Liberty Memorial Middle in San Benito, TX, serves 673 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District, which ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide. The school has a mixed performance history, currently sitting at the 52nd percentile (3 stars), but it boasts a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.7:1 and a near-zero dropout rate, making it a solid choice for families seeking smaller class sizes and a supportive environment.

Liberty Memorial's standout feature is its exceptional advanced coursework program. For four consecutive years, 100% of students taking the Algebra I EOC exam have scored proficient or above, dramatically outperforming the district (70.77%) and state (54.03%) averages, as well as nearby schools like San Benito Riverside Middle and Berta Cabaza Middle. However, this success contrasts with significant struggles in grade-level math, where only 16.17% of 7th graders were proficient in the most recent year—well below the state average of 29.41%. The school also shows persistent weakness in 8th-grade Social Studies, with only 20.6% of students proficient compared to 31.69% statewide. While Liberty Memorial is the lowest-ranked middle school in its district, it significantly outperforms its immediate geographic neighbors in the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, such as Miller Jordan Middle and San Benito Riverside Middle, which rank in the bottom 30th percentile.

Another strength is the school's effective support for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the 66th percentile—higher than the school's overall ranking. Liberty Memorial also has a historical success story with migrant students, achieving 94th and 92nd percentile rankings in 2018-2019 and 2017-2018, though recent data is unavailable. The school's per-student spending ($10,203) is efficient compared to higher-spending peers like South Texas Independent School District (Isd) Rising Scholars Academy ($13,891) and Vela Middle ($13,095). For parents, Liberty Memorial offers a world-class advanced academics pipeline but faces challenges in bringing the majority of students to grade-level proficiency, particularly in math and social studies. Its greatest opportunity for growth lies in translating the success of its advanced math program to a broader, more effective curriculum for all students.
