Liberty Academy

Summary:

Liberty Academy is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Liberty, Missouri, which is part of the Liberty 53 school district. However, Liberty Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Missouri high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Academy's performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages across key metrics. Its test scores, particularly for white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, are in the bottom 1-2% of Missouri high schools. The school also lacks publicly available data on graduation and dropout rates, as well as free and reduced-price lunch rates, which raises concerns about potential equity issues. When compared to other high schools in the Liberty 53 district, such as Liberty North High School and Liberty High, Liberty Academy performs significantly worse across all academic measures.

Addressing the root causes of Liberty Academy's consistently low performance and implementing effective improvement strategies will be crucial for the school to better serve its students and community. Understanding the school's resource allocation, as well as any ongoing improvement efforts, could provide valuable insights into how to support the school's progress.

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.
