My daughter just started 10th grade here. I couldn't be any happier. Great school. She was comfortable the first day.
My 3rd child through Liberty will be a 2011 graduate! Love the school academically..but it helps to know "who" the best teachers are..although they have many!! However..it does lack leadership, 3rd principal in 5 years - not good!! And it's ALL about the BOYS programs..girls are token only:(( This school is STRONG due to STRONG parental support and those teachers that work with them!! All 3 have had a good HS experience from 2004 - 2011!! Oh...and I've had the pleasure dealing with ONE very competent/knowledgable counselor - willing to go the extra mile (CD)!!!
A great school with great teachers and an excellent program, glad my child went to Liberty
Great Academically, I'm so happy my kids went to Liberty.
This school has so many issues I do not know where to begin from the uninvolved Principal who my 2 daughters do not even know what she looks like, to the V.P. that protects teachers who outright have integrity issues. Teachers who do not care about our children, regardless if they are at a 3.5 or 2.5. Inconsistant teaching and no compassion, I could go on and on since having 2 daughters go to this school for their entire High School careers. Horilble school
Liberty is a great school educational wise, but I don't feel like my children are safe there.
This school is a good school, however, if your child has a medical problem the PE teachers don't seem to take them to seriously. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE OFFICE and make a scene for anything to happen!!!
If your child has a 3.25 or better you can be assured that your child will probabbly be helped along the way but if they are stuggleing and may or may not get into a good college send them to Highland, East or North.
Cannot compare to other High Schools, but the quality of teaching seems to be low and the concern of the child's education has been ignored. Definetly needs more Teacher, Principal, and all other Staff envolvement with these kids. They seem to only be a number and not individuals.
