The school is part of the Pueblo County School District 70, which is ranked 57 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Point International School has a diverse student population, with 45.73% White, 42.95% Hispanic, and 8.55% two or more races. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado middle schools, with a ranking between 320 and 387 over the past 10 years. Its performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in CMAS assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. When looking at the performance of specific student subgroups, Liberty Point International School's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students perform better relative to their peers in Colorado than the school's overall performance, but the school's White and male students perform worse compared to their peers in the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.19% to 60.47% over the past three years, which is higher than the district average.

When comparing Liberty Point International School to other nearby middle schools, it generally performs worse than schools within the same Pueblo County School District 70, such as Pleasant View Middle School and Sky View Middle School. However, it outperforms some of the lower-performing schools in the neighboring Pueblo School District No. 60, such as Risley International Academy of Innovation and Pueblo Academy of Arts. The school's stronger performance among Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students indicates that there may be opportunities to learn from the strategies and practices that are working for these subgroups and apply them more broadly across the school.

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.
