I have recently left this school, and honestly, I'm glad I did. I had been going there all my life, from preeschool up except for one year when I was homeschooled. I absolutely DID NOT enjoy my time there. The teachers are often very lazy and mean. They play favorites too. I am a very strong Christian and I can honestly say that they focused way too much on rules and what you can and cannot do. They didn't really talk very much about how much God loves us. I felt like it was all about actions to them. That being said, the students weren't really a joy to be around either. The were mean and cliquish. I found I didn't fit in anywhere, not because I'm bad or anything (even though others treated me like I was and I started to believe it for a while) but because I tell the truth and people don't like that. Don't send your kids to this school. If you're just in it for the education, you can find better. If you're in it because it's a Christian school, sorry to say this, but they have never really shown me that they really care about the things of God.
I've been attending Liberty Baptist since I was in first grade. I'm a Junior now & quite frankly the education is lacking. The high school program is a couple of years behind the public school education. I love this school only because it's the only school I've ever really known. I hear kids that don't go to Liberty talk about their fun experiences & activities they have at their school and then I look at mine and I don't have any stories that could compare. All the money we spend on this school & you'd think that we'd be getting a good education. We don't. If this school focused more on education rather than Music & Bible then it would be a hundred times better.
My children have attended Liberty Baptist since K5, they are now in 6th and 8th grade. My girls have thrived while attending Liberty Baptist, I could not imagine sending them anywhere else. I love the small classroom sizes and the individualized attention each of my children receive from their teachers. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I highly highly recommend Liberty Baptist!!.
I've been to several Christian schools before but I loved Liberty Baptist School. Students not only learn academically but also morally. I've also taught at other Christian schools but I had a great experience here at LBS! Teachers pray for their students, show some concern to their needs and try their best to communicate well to the parents. I highly recommend this school!
I am a student at Liberty Baptist, within this review I hope to save the many lives of your children. I have attended Liberty Baptist for 10 years, and I feel left behind. The education is lacking, and the teachers are both inexperienced and often lazy. The things they teach often revolve around God, not the subject. I'm not saying God is bad just, we need knowledge as well to prosper in life and being there, I see little in my future. The food, when served, is of poor quality. Extracurricular activities are non-existent, only 2-3 sports are available. My 'fellow' school mates, lack common sense, maturity, and have little regards for others. I ask you as man that seeks to better the world, in hopes of a greater society, please save your children the pain and anguish, don't send your child here; or they will be forever imprisoned as I.
All five of my children have attended Liberty Baptist. Currently I have two enrolled at Liberty and they have attended since K-5. I love the school, my interactions with the principal and teachers have all been positive and my two children thrive and excel in their education.
I was former student of Liberty. The actual skill level is fairly low. I had to talk a summer school class to catch up to my new school. I saw my class mates slipping in school. The teachers knew they were getting poor grades, but didn't help them, and some ended up failing and had to waste there money on summer school there. The Christian education is great, but what about the rest? The students need to get the same education as a public school; and the fact that this is a private school, shouldn't it be better? You think putting them in a private shcool will make them better? To tell you the truth it didn't help! It's alwasy depends on who you're children hang out with, some students at Liberty are not always so law abiding. So just take care of your kids.
My child graduated from Liberty Baptist several years ago. Although there were some issues with teachers, everything seemed to come together as we met and discussed the problem. My child has fond memories of her junior high and high school years there. The sports programs were awesome as well as the parent participation. I'm not sure how much could have changed in the past 5-10 years, but I have good memories of Liberty Baptist and my child made lifetime friendships there. Former Parent
AWful. teachers that don't teach well and principal that does not help solve any problems or concerns. this is just an average education at best.
