Summary:

Liberty Boulevard Elementary is a public elementary school in South Gate, California, serving 458 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Boulevard Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 14.9% in 2017-2018 to 50.7% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 34.8% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students (95.85%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
