Summary:
The 64158 zip code area has only one school, Liberty Oaks Elementary, which serves grades K-5. As part of the Liberty 53 school district, Liberty Oaks Elementary has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past three years, despite the district being ranked 87 out of 386 in Missouri and having a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are within typical ranges, its academic performance, as measured by Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) test scores, lags behind both the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 31.1% in 2023-2024, compared to 50.2% for the Liberty 53 district and 40.8% for the state. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.6% may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
Overall, Liberty Oaks Elementary appears to be an average-performing school within a higher-performing district, and there may be opportunities for improvement in the school's educational outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions could help the school better serve its student population, which includes a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at 31.03% on free and reduced-price lunch.
