Liberty Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.2% in 2018-2019 to 39.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than schools like Brentwood Elementary (49.3%) and Hollyvale Elementary (39.5%).

The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 88.67% to 90.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools like Brentwood Elementary (90.18%) and Discovery School of the Arts (71.35%). This suggests that socioeconomic factors may contribute to the challenges Liberty Elementary faces in terms of attendance and academic performance. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach by the school and district.

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.
