The school boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.9%, along with strong performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates above the state average in several subjects. In contrast, Liberty Elementary School and Liberty Middle School have significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in math and science, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to address these performance gaps.
The data also reveals that all three district schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.58% to 68.05%, indicating a relatively high-need student population in the Liberty Central School District. While the district schools spend between $17,333 and $18,706 per student, which is on par with or slightly above the state average, and have relatively low student-teacher ratios, the academic struggles at the elementary and middle school levels suggest that additional resources and support may be needed to ensure all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
