Summary:
Liberty Central School District has only one high school, Liberty High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 667 out of 1,190 New York high schools in 2021-2022 to 813 out of 1,242 in 2023-2024. While the school's performance on some Regents/Common Core exams, such as English Language Arts and U.S. History and Government, is better than the district and state averages, it lags significantly in others like Algebra I, Living Environment, and Physics.
Liberty High School faces several challenges, including a four-year graduation rate slightly below the state average, a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, and a relatively high percentage of students (61.58%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, but the Liberty Central School District as a whole is ranked 799 out of 865 in New York and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting broader district-level issues that may be impacting the high school's performance.
While Liberty High School has some areas of strength, the overall trends indicate that the school and district may benefit from targeted interventions and a closer examination of the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance, uneven academic outcomes, and high chronic absenteeism. Addressing these challenges could help ensure that students in the Liberty Central School District have access to a quality education and the resources they need to succeed.
