Liberty J H

Public Grades 7-8

1999^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,344 Texas Middle Schools

Better than 15% of Texas middle schools

Summary

Liberty J H is a public middle school located in Dallas, Texas, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 542 students. It is part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 382 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty J H consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school spends more per student ($11,117 in 2020-2021) compared to the district and state averages, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. When comparing Liberty J H to other nearby middle schools within the Richardson ISD, such as Richardson West Technology and Arts Magnet and Richardson North J H, the performance gap is quite significant, with these nearby schools consistently outperforming Liberty J H across various academic measures.

Looking at schools outside the Richardson ISD but within a similar geographic area, such as Sam Houston Middle, Bussey Middle, and Webb Middle in the Garland ISD, Liberty J H still underperforms these schools in terms of academic achievement and overall school rankings. The success of nearby magnet schools, such as Richardson West Technology and Arts Magnet and Jackson Technology Center, suggests that specialized programs and targeted resources can make a significant difference in student achievement, which could provide valuable insights for Liberty J H.
