Summary:
The city of Liberty, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole underperforms compared to state averages, Liberty High School stands out as a bright spot, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.3% and low dropout rate of 1.1%. The high school also outperforms the district and state on several end-of-course exams, such as Biology, English I/II, and U.S. History.
In contrast, the other schools in the Liberty Independent School District generally perform below state averages on STAAR assessments. However, Liberty Middle School impresses with a 73.91% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly higher than the district and state. The schools also have a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the overall underperformance.
While the Liberty Independent School District as a whole faces challenges, the data suggests that the district could learn from the strategies and resources that have contributed to the success of Liberty High School. By addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and replicating effective practices, the district may be able to improve performance across all of its schools and provide a stronger educational foundation for the students of Liberty, Texas.
