About Liberty Elementary School
Liberty Elementary School is a regular public school serving 428 students in grades PK through 6 in Boise, Idaho. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — backed by a 9.5 academic score and a 9.2 growth score. The school ranks second among 71 public schools in Boise and outperforms 98% of Idaho public schools statewide, placing it at the very top of the state's elementary rankings.
Those academic and growth scores reinforce rather than offset each other. A 9.5 academic score reflects students performing at a high level; a 9.2 growth score confirms they continue making above-average gains year over year. Schools that deliver strongly on both metrics are uncommon — most trade strength in one area for weakness in the other.
The student-teacher ratio sits at 17.8:1 across 428 enrolled students. For a public elementary school, that's a workable number — enough to sustain a full PK–6 curriculum without outpacing teachers' ability to track individual progress. For families weighing Boise-area options, Liberty's performance data holds up consistently at every level of comparison: within the city and across the state.
