Liberty Elementary

Summary:

Liberty Elementary is a public elementary school serving 546 students in grades PK-4 in the White Settlement Independent School District (ISD) in Texas. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with significant percentages of White and African American students as well.

While Liberty Elementary spends more per student than the district average and nearby schools, its academic performance has declined in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 630 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 3,832 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has fallen from 4 stars to 1 star. On STAAR tests, Liberty Elementary's proficiency rates are lower than the district and state averages, particularly for African American and male students. In contrast, nearby North Elementary and Fine Arts Academy, which are also part of the White Settlement ISD, consistently outperform Liberty Elementary on these assessments.

Despite these academic challenges, Liberty Elementary has some bright spots. The school ranks in the top 2% of Texas elementary schools for its performance in serving English Language Learners (ELLs), indicating that it may have effective strategies in place to support this student population. However, the school's performance in serving its gifted and talented students has been more uneven, suggesting a need to re-evaluate its approach to identifying and supporting high-achieving students. By learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools and focusing on areas of strength, Liberty Elementary may be able to improve its academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all its students.

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.
