Summary:
The 62347 zip code is home to two schools, Liberty Elementary School and Liberty High School, both part of the Liberty CUSD 2 district. While Liberty Elementary School has a 3-star rating, Liberty High School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, ranking in the top 22% of Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Liberty High School boasts a strong 92.6% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.6% dropout rate. Academically, the school outperforms the district and state averages, with 37.2% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, 58.7% of all students proficient or better in IAR English Language Arts, and 68.8% proficient or better in ISA Science. In contrast, Liberty Elementary School's performance, while still reasonable, is not as exceptional, with a 42.4% proficiency rate in IAR English Language Arts and a 66.7% proficiency rate in ISA Science.
While both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending levels, the data suggests there may be some socioeconomic challenges in the community, as indicated by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools. Additionally, Liberty High School's higher chronic absenteeism rate of 16.4% compared to Liberty Elementary School's 8.2% is an area that warrants further attention. Overall, the 62347 zip code is served by a strong high school and a reasonably performing elementary school, but there are opportunities for improvement in addressing equity and attendance-related concerns.
