Liberty High School

Summary:

Liberty High School is a public high school located in Youngstown, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 379 students. The school is part of the Youngstown City school district and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty High School has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more diverse than the state average. The school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.3% to 97.0% over the past five years, which is a positive metric. However, Liberty High School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.0% to 53.6% over the past five years, and its performance on state assessments is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When analyzing the performance of different student subgroups, Liberty High School's African American and Hispanic students generally perform better than the school's overall performance, ranking in the top half of Ohio high schools for these subgroups. In contrast, the school's White and Special Education students perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom half of the state. The nearby Choffin Career Center, which is part of the Youngstown City school district, has a much smaller enrollment of 27 students and a very low student-teacher ratio of 2:1, but the school's overall performance and demographics are similar to Liberty High 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.
