Liberty Hill Middle

Summary:

Liberty Hill Middle is a public middle school serving 944 students in grades 6-8 in Liberty Hill, Texas, which is part of the Liberty Hill Independent School District.

Liberty Hill Middle is generally a high-performing school, with consistently strong academic results, particularly in Reading and Science. The school has a higher percentage of White students compared to the state average, and its African American and Gifted and Talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% and top 15% of Texas middle schools, respectively. However, the school struggles with English Language Learners and low-income students, ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas middle schools for those subgroups. In recent years, Liberty Hill Middle's overall performance has declined, dropping from a 5-star rating to a 3-star rating in 2021-2022, with a particular decline in Mathematics and English Language Learner performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Liberty Hill Middle generally outperforms the district and state averages, but lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the Leander Independent School District, such as Florence W. Stiles Middle and Artie L. Henry Middle. The school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (25.95%) may contribute to its overall strong academic performance, but the district should address the school's declining performance, especially for Mathematics and English Language Learners.

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.
