Liberty Creek Elementary

Summary:

Liberty Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Gallatin, Tennessee, serving 647 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Sumner County School District, which is ranked 28th out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Liberty Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Tennessee, with impressive academic performance that significantly exceeds the Sumner County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (76.4%), English Language Arts (67.6%), and Science (73%) were substantially higher than the Sumner County (58%, 48.1%, and 55.9%) and Tennessee state (39.7%, 37.6%, and 44%) averages. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking 9th and 13th, respectively, out of all Tennessee elementary schools.

While Liberty Creek Elementary's academic excellence is undeniable, the school's racial composition is significantly less diverse than the nearby Howard Elementary, Nannie Berry Elementary, and White House Heritage Elementary School, which have more diverse student populations. This racial composition difference may raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for students from diverse backgrounds, as the nearby schools with more diverse populations tend to have lower academic performance.

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.
