In contrast, Bedford Elementary and Bedford Primary have struggled, with lower proficiency rates across the board.
While Liberty High School has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, its overall statewide ranking has been declining, from 244 out of 326 Virginia high schools in 2022-2023 to 267 out of 328 in 2024-2025. This trend suggests that the school may be facing challenges in improving or maintaining its academic performance compared to other high schools in the state.
