The principals, teachers and other staff are fantastice! I couldn't be any happier with the school & wouldn't choose anywhere else to send my kids! When and if we decide to move, we will try our hardest to stay in the Lillian Schumacher school district!!!

My daughter is a fourth grader at Schumacher. It is an excellent school. The principal really puts his heart and soul into running this school and the involvement and effort really pays off. The teachers are organized and caring. The Liberty school is probably one of the best in the country! Schumacher really puts alot of emphasis on reading. We moved to Liberty from another district and while our child is an excellent student we were amazed by how much she improved being in this school. They also go beyond the typical classroom by teaching the children empathy and accountability. This school has alot of fun family activities as well giving it a community feel. It has been fantastic. It is a bit big but the principal knows everyone's name and I still feel that each child receives an adequate amount of personalized attention.
