Liberty Elementary: High scores, healthy climate, strong attendance. We looked for a catch — we didn't find one.

Liberty posts 59.0% exceeding the standard — versus 21.3% statewide — with climate numbers better than most. That doesn't make it perfect. It makes it worth a visit to find what numbers can't measure.

Most rating sites would stop at “79% proficient” and call it done. Liberty deserves a closer read. The school sits in Fresno, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Liberty's low-income kids hit 76.2% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

The Scope Score weights six dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Liberty Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 78.6% of students at Liberty Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 59.0% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 19.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 59.0% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 537 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Liberty Elementary rank in California?
Liberty Elementary ranks #386 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 93rd percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Liberty Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Liberty Elementary decreases by 2.6 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Liberty Elementary?
13.9% of students at Liberty Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 2.1%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Liberty Elementary compare to other schools in Fresno?
Liberty Elementary scores 73/100 (93rd percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 618 students.

Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
