Summary

Liberty High School is a small, rural high school serving about 168 students in grades 9-12 in Spangle, WA, and it stands out as one of the top-performing high schools in the state.

Academically, Liberty excels, particularly in English and science, where its students' proficiency rates are dramatically higher than both the state average and all nearby schools like Freeman High School and Cheney High School. The school consistently ranks in the 89th percentile statewide, a position it has maintained for years, demonstrating remarkable stability compared to other area schools. It also achieves a strong 90% graduation rate. This success is supported by the highly-rated Liberty School District and occurs even though a significant portion of the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, showing the school effectively supports students from various economic backgrounds.

While mathematics is a relative area for improvement, Liberty's performance in math is still on par with or better than neighboring schools, suggesting a shared regional challenge. Compared to other small, rural schools such as Oakesdale High School and Tekoa High School, Liberty delivers these excellent results with efficient per-student spending, making it a model of effective education in a rural setting.
