Liberty 53

The Liberty 53 school district in Missouri consists of 17 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 87 out of 386 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out as top performers. Shoal Creek Elementary and Epic Elementary are both ranked among the top elementary schools in Missouri and have exceptional test scores, with 68-79% and 49-74% of students proficient or better in math, respectively. At the high school level, both Liberty High and Liberty North High demonstrate strong performance, with high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and solid test scores.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across the district. While the top-performing schools excel, some elementary and middle schools struggle, particularly in math. There appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic outcomes, with higher-poverty schools tending to have lower test scores. Identifying and replicating the factors that contribute to the success of the district's top schools could help raise the overall performance of the Liberty 53 school system.
