Summary:
Liberty Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 174 students in grades K-6 in the Southern Tioga School District in Pennsylvania. The school has consistently received a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, with its statewide rank fluctuating between 675 out of 1,467 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2013-2014 and 1,000 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023.
Liberty Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA Math for all grades was 32.6%, compared to the state average of 40.4% and the district average of 31.3%. The school's performance is particularly low in 6th grade Math, with only 15.8% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.3%. Additionally, the school's performance is significantly lower for certain student subgroups, such as male students and white students, compared to the state averages.
While Liberty Elementary School has seen an increase in per-student spending over the past few years, from $13,538 in 2019-2020 to $18,382 in 2021-2022, this has not translated into improved academic performance. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.3 to 9.7 over the past few years, suggests that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students, but this has not led to higher achievement. Interestingly, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Loyalsock Valley Elementary School and Don Gill Elementary School, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state averages.
