Liberty Elementary School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the Casey County and statewide averages across various subjects and grade levels.

In Reading, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 40% to 53%, compared to 43-55% for Casey County and 46-50% statewide. However, when compared to higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Science Hill Elementary in Pulaski County and Hustonville Elementary in Lincoln County, Liberty Elementary School's performance lags behind in some areas, particularly in Mathematics and Reading proficiency rates.

The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Female, Male, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, has shown some fluctuations and declines in recent years, which may warrant further investigation and targeted interventions. While Liberty Elementary School's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are within reasonable ranges, the school may need to explore other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and professional development, to improve its overall academic performance and competitiveness with higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
