Gold stars for Liberty Oaks Elementary! What an impressive group from teachers to staff to the PTA and a great bunch of kids. Our family transferred in last year from out of state and the transition was smooth and organized thanks to these dedicated folks. Also, the lovely building makes for a super learning experience.

Liberty Oaks is an amazing school. Not only is their teaching style different than other schools, but they award the children through thier achievments and behavior.

As a parent and a teacher, I am thrilled with the Liberty School District. The district is well managed and organized. They make wise, well thought out and planned decisions and follow through on plans. The teachers are highly qualified and the general atmosphere within the district and community is that failure is not an option and hard work in encouraged and rewarded. With a combination of school, community, and parental support all kids will thrive in this environment.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
