i had went to many schools throught out my high schools years. I recently graduated from there and from what i have to say, Liberty High School was the best i had ever went to. At first, before i moved from liberty, i hated it, wanted to leave so badly. honestly, i hated it cause other kids hated it, but when i attended other school, i missed liberty so much that i wanted to go back and i did. I left in the 10th grade and came back as a 12th grader. I am proud to say that i attended and graduated from Liberty High School. LHS, you rock!!!!!

Liberty Middle School in my opinon is the best school in new york. Not to exagerate! I 've been in liberty elementary school through liberty middle school till 6th grade then I had to move :(. There is so many programs to keep you/child to stay involved and love school. I was first chair in viola in orchestra and played on the stages of Carenegie Hall, as a privilage! It's amazing until I had to move to the city. I would do anything to continue going to attend that school and the liberty high school. Whoever attends this school is a very lucky person. This teaching is strict although I appreciated that. They teach you the right way with dicsipline included. With the top technology in the classrooms.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 New York used the New York State Regents Examinations to test high school students in english language arts, math, global history and geography, US history and government, living environment, chemistry, earth science, physics and several foreign languages. The results for english language arts, math, living environment, chemistry, earth science, physics, global history and geography, US history and government, french, italian, and spanish are displayed in GreatSchools profiles. Students must take at least five Regents Exams in order to graduate. Scores of 65 and above are passing; scores of 55 and above earn credit toward a local diploma (with the approval of the local board of education). The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
