Liberty High School

Summary:

Liberty High School is a public charter high school located in Dayton, Ohio, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 312 students. The school has a diverse student population, with over 50% African American and 36% White students.

Despite its diverse student body, Liberty High School has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools over the past several years. The school's test scores are significantly below state averages, and it has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 76.8% to 98.1% over the past five years. This has led to dismal graduation rates, with the four-year graduation rate ranging from just 12.2% to 30.5% over the same period. These challenges are seen across all student subgroups, with Liberty High School ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio high schools for female, male, African American, White, and low socioeconomic status students.

The struggles at Liberty High School are not unique to the school itself, as nearby schools like Miami Valley Ctc Alternative and Dayton Digital Academy also face challenges with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the issues facing Liberty High School may be reflective of broader educational challenges in the Dayton area. However, the data also indicates that with the right interventions and support, there may be opportunities for Liberty High School to improve its performance and better support the academic and personal growth of its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
