While Liberty Elementary School's Mathematics proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, its English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency rates are lower. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.4% in the 2019-2020 school year to 12.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the district's average. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and Disabled students having lower rankings compared to other subgroups, while Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students have shown stronger performance.

Compared to nearby schools within the same district, Sleepy Hollow Elementary School, Eastview Elementary School, and Kenneth E. Neubert Elementary School consistently outperform Liberty Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted strategies to support underperforming student subgroups could be important focus areas for Liberty Elementary School and the district to improve overall student outcomes.

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.
