Summary:
The city of Baltimore, Ohio is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Liberty Union Elementary School, Liberty Union High School, and Liberty Union Middle School. These schools are part of the Liberty Union-Thurston Local district and demonstrate a strong academic performance, with the elementary and middle schools consistently outperforming state averages in math and English language arts.
The standout schools in this district are Liberty Union Elementary School, which boasts high test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and a solid state-wide ranking, and Liberty Union High School, which has an impressive 97.1% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on end-of-course exams. The high school has also shown steady improvement in its state-wide ranking, moving from 583rd in 2021-2022 to 359th in 2023-2024.
While the schools in the district demonstrate overall academic excellence, there are some areas that warrant further attention. The high school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.2% may be a concern, and the varying free/reduced lunch rates across the schools suggest a diverse student population with differing socioeconomic backgrounds, which may require tailored support and resources. Nevertheless, the consistent district-level performance across the schools indicates effective policies and practices that contribute to the overall success of the Liberty Union-Thurston Local school district.
