Liberty Grove Schools

Summary:

Liberty Grove Schools is an elementary public charter school located in Indianapolis, IN serving 232 students in grades KG-6. The school has a predominantly African American student population (76.29%) and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (82.76%). Unfortunately, Liberty Grove Schools has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing schools in the state, ranking 995 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

The academic performance of Liberty Grove Schools is in stark contrast to nearby higher-performing schools like IPS/Butler Lab at William Bell 60 and Herron Preparatory Academy. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.69% of students at Liberty Grove were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 4.52% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 32.58% in ELA and 22.47% in Math at IPS/Butler Lab, and 48.21% in ELA and 55.36% in Math at Herron Preparatory. Liberty Grove Schools also has a staggeringly high chronic absenteeism rate of 69.3%, which is more than 3 times the state average and much higher than nearby schools.

The combination of low academic performance, high poverty rates, and lack of racial diversity at Liberty Grove Schools compared to nearby schools raises concerns about educational equity and access to quality education for the school's predominantly African American and low-income student population. Addressing the disparities in academic achievement and attendance at Liberty Grove Schools will require significant and targeted interventions, such as implementing evidence-based instructional practices, providing comprehensive student support services, and fostering strong community partnerships to improve student outcomes.

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.
