Liberty Magnet School

Our two children have been attending Liberty for now 3-years. We are very pleased with the teachers, school programs and the participation by parents. We are glad to have our KIDS at Liberty especially when you hear the horror stories about the other surrounding public schools.

I've had the opportunity to send my child to both our zoned regular public school and Liberty. When first accepted to Liberty, I vowed to keep an unbiased opinion of the school, as I listened to too many Liberty parents talk down to us non-Liberty parents. After my child now being at Liberty for 2 years, I can solidly say that I am very pleased with the school. Have had no issues with teachers or administration or anything else. In reading some of the other posts... There are always gonna be folks who complain about schools. (Most times, people typically DON'T write a review unless they have a complaint.) But find me a school --- or anything --- that pleases EVERYone... Not gonna happen. If there were such serious issues with a school, it wouldn't still be open. Parents at my child's former school liked to trash Liberty's name, and vice versa. Happens everywhere. But I have no regrets and would recommend the school to anyone.

I love this school! I have 2 children currently at Liberty and I am VERY pleased. Communication is excellent. The teachers are wonderful! There is always something going on at the school.

This school is very disorganized. The teachers are very rigid and there is a lack of communication from the staff to the parents.

Communication between parents and the school administration/PTA is very poor. As a parent of a new student, I found the orientation to be anything but orienting. I was more confused when I left than when I entered due to the poor organization of the event. Overall, I've found the school very unfriendly towards and unaccomodating for working parents. For instance orientations were scheduled in the morning or only until 6:00 at night (I work 30 minutes from the school). If you miss these meetings, it is impossible to get the information. I'm not impressed with this school or their IB program. Mr. Klaus should have better control over his PTA Board.

I am not happy with Liberty Magnet. Why are the test scores so low!? I am tired of this idea of 'charter' schools. Liberty is no different. The teachers have no experience, the academics are not accelerated and the behavior problems are a major issue. I would like to see a charter school that requires testing in order to get in.

All magnet schools are not created equal and do not have to adhere to any more rigourous standards than a normal school. I am happy with my son's teacher - but the administration appears disorganized. In addition, I expected an IB school to focus on learning another language; this is not true. My son is exposed to Spanish for about 40 minutes each week - not enough for him to learn the language. I'm sorry to say but I am trying to arrange for my son to attend private school; there is a reason Florida public school's have a bad reputation.
