Liberty County High School

Summary:

Liberty County High School is a public high school located in Bristol, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 341. The school is part of the Liberty District, which is ranked 9th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Liberty County High School is part of a higher-performing district, it faces several challenges. The school has a predominantly white student population (82.11%), which is significantly higher than nearby Sneads High School (69.17%) and Blountstown High School (69.64%). Additionally, Liberty County High School has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 90.9% in 2018-2019 to 78.0% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby Sneads High School (75.5%).

Another area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism, which has increased significantly from 26.8% in 2019-2020 to 46.1% in 2022-2023, higher than the nearby Sneads High School (48.2%) and Blountstown High School (46.0%). Furthermore, Liberty County High School has generally lower proficiency rates compared to the state and nearby schools in subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's Algebra 1 proficiency rate was 22%, compared to the state average of 55% and the nearby Blountstown High School's 49%. These challenges suggest that Liberty County High School may need to explore strategies to improve student outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
