Summary:
Liberty Central School District has only one middle school, Liberty Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Liberty Middle School is a low-performing school, ranking 1416 out of 1504 New York middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Liberty Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in 8th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate is 27% compared to the state average of 51.88%, and in 8th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate is only 8.64% compared to the state average of 40.72%. The school's performance on Regents exams, such as Living Environment and Algebra I, is also below the state averages.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,706 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10.2, Liberty Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools over the past three school years, with its ranking declining each year. The high percentage of students (68.05%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance, and strategies to address the needs of this population may be necessary to drive progress and better serve the students.
