About Liberty Christian School
Liberty Christian School serves 59 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in St. Petersburg's 33702 ZIP code area. With just 6 full-time equivalent teachers, this small elementary school maintains an impressive 9.8:1 student-teacher ratio, allowing for personalized attention and close relationships between educators and students.
The school has earned a strong 9.2 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout, reflecting its commitment to quality education despite ranking in the 46th percentile statewide at #787 out of 1,462 Florida elementary schools. This combination suggests Liberty Christian School may be exceeding expectations for schools of its size and type. The intimate learning environment, with fewer than 60 total students, creates opportunities for individualized instruction and a tight-knit school community where every child is known by name.
The low student-teacher ratio particularly benefits younger learners who thrive with consistent, focused guidance during these foundational academic years. Liberty Christian School is situated in a stable St. Petersburg neighborhood where the median household income reaches $62,271 and 37% of residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher.
The area's median home value of $266,700 reflects a middle-class community invested in education, while the relatively low 12.2% poverty rate indicates economic stability that can support student learning and family engagement.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 59 students, Liberty Christian School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 9.8:1, Liberty Christian School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Liberty Christian School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
