Liberty Leadership Academy

Summary:

Liberty Leadership Academy is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cottonwood, Arizona, with just 53 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it is struggling academically compared to the state and nearby schools in the area.

According to the key insights, only 13% of 3rd graders and 29% of 4th graders at Liberty Leadership Academy were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly below the state averages of 41% and 43% respectively. The school's overall statewide ranking is 999 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 20%.

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.
