My son has attended several schools across the United States due us being in the military. This is the WORST school he has ever attended. Everything is done on who you know. If you want on the football team, you have to either played the year before, be on the booster, or coaches son. The principal has NO control over the staff. It is a shame.
Great area to live and a wonderful teaching staff. My son has had a great middle school experience. I hope the high school is up to the same standard.
This is an awesome school and love it. I have been a student here since 2007 and i haven't stopped loving it since i have been here. The teachers are awesome and know exactly what there talking about and most of them even have there doctors degree. There are plenty of extra curricular activities to do including some great sports. Liberty has gotten several awards for our crcts and plenty of others. Anybody would be crazy not to go to this school. The lunches are awesome they staff is nice and it's a school in which you can learn and have fun at the same time. So why don't you come check it out. Thanks
Turnover at the school is so high that it's almost like its a new school every year...With new faces. The school will never improve until it has new leadership. Extracurricular activities--everything this parent mentioned is offered at almost every school. It happens to be a state law that for a student to participate in athletics, they must have reached the seventh grade. So that's not liberty's idea. I also believe the minimum grade average is also a requirement at most or all Georgia schools to remain on an athletic squad.
This is a great school for your child to attend. My child attends this school and she loves it. She is in many groups that Liberty has to offer. They have cheerleading, basketball, football, many clubs also band and chorus. If you are in 6th grade you can be in groups but they want you to be more experienced with the way the school works before you can try out for any squads such as football, basketball, or cheerleading. they are really strick on your grades and the dress code. If you are on a squad you have to maintain a high c average. As you can see, this is a really good school. They offer you so much and give you so many chances to improve and be the best you can be and also be able to have fun at the same time. So come join Liberty Middle Patroits.
This is a horrible school. No physical activity whatsoever for most kids. P.E. Only offered one quarter a year to kids in band or chorus. No outside space for kids if they don't play football. Poor teacher quality. A ridiculous rotating block schedule where everyday kids have different academic classes at different times of the day. They only have instruction in academic classes two or three times a week (it alternates). Principal is nonexistant and cancels school events without informing parents. 8Th grade field trip cancelled. 8Th grade breakfast cancelled. They use kids to raise money for local and national charities but don't have outside lunch benches. Outside play equipment. Any recesses whatsoever. Go to a school if you must in forsyth in the southern part of the county. Better educated teachers (they actually will use proper grammer and syntax), there will be more emphasis on academics and the arts .
I taught at this school it's opening year in 2002-03. I was very impressed by its organization and the challenging curriculum it offered to students. Helping students succeed and be their best was a pleasure. However, the administration is a big disappointment. While the principal knows her job well, she is very ruthless and extremely manipulative. Her tyranical reputation has sunk teacher morale, and the school has lost a lot of good teachers as Liberty continues to suffer from high turnover.
