This is our 4th year at Liberty and I can't say enough wonderful things about it. We love the staff, teachers, and administrators. They're amazing.

Liberty was a so-so school. My son's first two years had him in a combined class where the teacher really cared then they put him in a single grade class where the teacher did not challenge him at all and his test scores went down. The administration did not communicate with parents and overall it was very frustrating. I am glad my child no longer attends this school.

We have had such a positive experience at Liberty. The teachers are awesome. They love the children, encourage them to aim high, and provide opportunities for them to excel. They also make learning fun. My daughter is excited to go to school everyday (so far anyway - she is in kindergarten :-))

The teachers are great! They give lots of encouragement and set high goals. They also continue to learn new ways to teach. My daughter will miss them when she moves on to middle school.

Liberty is America's most forward thinking school. The teachers are preparing students to be successful in 2025 and beyond! Every student and family matters at Liberty. To quote the administration, 'If it is right for kids, then we need to do it!'

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
