Summary:

The city of Liberty, Illinois is home to two schools - Liberty Elementary School and Liberty High School, both part of the Liberty CUSD 2 district. While Liberty High School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 22% of Illinois high schools, Liberty Elementary appears to be more average in its academic outcomes.

Liberty High School boasts an impressive 92.6% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. Its students outperform their district and state peers on several key metrics, including SAT math proficiency and IAR English Language Arts proficiency across all grades. In contrast, Liberty Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated between the top 24% and top 29% of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years, and its math proficiency across all grades is below the state and district averages.

Additionally, the higher free/reduced lunch rates at the high school level compared to the elementary school may indicate socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement, and the high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.4% is an area for the district to investigate and address.
