Summary

Liberty Elementary in White Settlement, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 654 students in 1st through 5th grade within the White Settlement Independent School District (Isd), where about 78% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has experienced a dramatic and sustained decline in academic performance over the past decade, dropping from a high-performing 4-star school ranking in the 86th percentile statewide (2018-2019) to a 0-star school in the 3rd percentile (2025-2026), marking one of the most significant performance drops among its peers.

This decline is systemic, affecting nearly all student groups and subjects. In the most recent testing year, proficiency rates in English-tested Reading and Math are significantly below both district and state averages—for example, 3rd Grade Math proficiency is 20% at Liberty compared to 32.64% district-wide and 44.33% statewide. The school ranks in the bottom 5% statewide for Female, Male, African American, White, Multi-racial, Special Education, and Low Socio-Economic Status students. This contrasts sharply with nearby Fine Arts Academy (0.79 miles away, also in White Settlement ISD), which serves a different demographic (36.5% free/reduced lunch) and achieves dramatically better results, with 3rd-grade Reading proficiency at 78.72% compared to Liberty's 38.26% in 2024-2025.

Despite the overall crisis, Liberty's Spanish-language STAAR test performance is a relative strength, often exceeding district and state averages—for instance, 5th Grade Reading (Spanish) reached 66.67% versus the state's 32.91% in 2024-2025. The school also showed past success, ranking in the 98th percentile for English Language Learner students in 2022-2023, indicating it has the capacity to serve these groups well. Per-student spending ($10,770) is comparable to higher-performing district peer North Elementary ($10,526), suggesting the challenges are related to instructional strategy or leadership rather than funding. The stark contrast with nearby schools highlights the need for targeted intervention to reverse Liberty's trajectory.
