Summary:
The Liberty School District in Washington state is home to two schools: Liberty Junior High & Elementary and Liberty High School. While both schools have maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Liberty High School stands out as the district's academic powerhouse, ranking in the top 15% of high schools statewide and boasting impressive test scores, graduation rates, and college readiness metrics.
Liberty High School has consistently outperformed the state averages in 10th-grade SBAC English Language Arts, Math, and 11th-grade WCAS Science proficiency, with over 80% of students scoring proficient or better in ELA and nearly 67% in Science. In contrast, while Liberty Junior High & Elementary maintains a 4-star rating, its statewide ranking has fluctuated between the middle and lower end of the spectrum for elementary schools.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Liberty High School spending significantly more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary/middle school. This suggests the district may be prioritizing resources at the high school level, which could present opportunities to ensure more equitable distribution of funding and staffing across the district to support academic achievement at all grade levels.
