Liberty Public School

Summary:

Liberty Public School is an elementary school located in Muldrow, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 328 students. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, it still has some notable strengths, including outperforming the state average in several key test score metrics.

One of the school's key differentiators is its relatively strong test scores in certain grade levels and subjects. For example, Liberty Public School outperforms the state average in 3rd Grade English Language Arts (55% proficient vs. 51%), 7th Grade English Language Arts (50% proficient vs. 39%), 7th Grade Mathematics (65% proficient vs. 29%), and 8th Grade Mathematics (56% proficient vs. 25%). However, the school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades in 2020-2021 were below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.31% to 78.05%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Eastside Elementary School and Roland Elementary School have higher test scores in some areas, but also serve a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Liberty Public School's spending per student of $8,717 in 2018-2019 is on the lower end compared to some nearby schools, such as Brushy Public School ($9,699) and Gans Elementary School ($8,490), which may be a factor to consider in understanding the school's performance and resource allocation.

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.
