Summary

Liberty High School in Glen Daniel, WV, is a mid-sized public high school serving 458 students in grades 9-12 within the rural Raleigh County Schools district. The school has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade, climbing from the bottom 15th percentile in state rankings in 2018-2019 to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating and establishing itself as a rising star in the region.

What truly sets Liberty apart is its exceptional success with students from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school ranks in the 87th percentile statewide for this subgroup, far exceeding its overall ranking and demonstrating a powerful ability to close achievement gaps. This is a standout achievement that makes Liberty a model for educational equity. The school also boasts a strong 94% graduation rate, higher than both the district (92.1%) and state (92.8%) averages, and shows particular strength in science, consistently outperforming state proficiency averages. When compared to nearby schools, Liberty is closely matched with Woodrow Wilson High School in overall ranking (38th vs. 37th) but surpasses it with a significantly higher graduation rate (94% vs. 91%). Liberty has also recently overtaken Independence High School, which now ranks 63rd compared to Liberty's 38th, and trails only Shady Spring High, the area's top performer at the 88th percentile.

While Liberty's overall trajectory is highly positive, mathematics remains an area for continued focus, with proficiency rates slightly below the state average. The school also shows some year-over-year variability in performance for specific student subgroups, though its systems for supporting low-income students remain consistently strong. For parents seeking a school that is clearly on the upswing, delivers strong results for all students, and prioritizes getting kids to graduation, Liberty High School represents a compelling and increasingly attractive option in southern West Virginia.
