Liberty Elementary

Summary:

Liberty Elementary is a public elementary school in Azle, Texas, serving 466 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Azle Independent School District. While the school has a higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, it has consistently lower test scores in reading and math, a declining statewide ranking, and significant performance gaps between student subgroups.

Liberty Elementary's STAAR test scores in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math are notably lower than the Azle ISD and Texas state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.89% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 49.25% for Azle ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 1248 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 3221 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Liberty Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for Hispanic students and English Language Learners in reading and math.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Eagle Mt-Saginaw ISD and Azle ISD, such as Lake Country Elementary and Eagle Heights Elementary, Liberty Elementary generally underperforms in terms of test scores, school rankings, and subgroup performance. However, the data suggests that there are opportunities for the school to improve by addressing the specific needs of its diverse student population and implementing effective instructional practices.

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.
