Summary:

Lillian Schumacher Elementary is a public elementary school in Liberty, Missouri, serving 475 students in grades K-5 and part of the Liberty 53 school district.

While Lillian Schumacher Elementary generally performs better than the Missouri state average on standardized tests, it lags behind the Liberty 53 district average and some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Epic Elementary and Shoal Creek Elementary. The school has a higher percentage of White students (71.37%) and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (33.47%) compared to the surrounding schools. Additionally, Lillian Schumacher Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance on standardized tests varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing significantly worse than their White peers. Lillian Schumacher Elementary's lower performance in 4th and 5th-grade Math and English Language Arts, as well as the disparities in subgroup performance, suggest that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these areas of concern and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
