My children are happy at Liberty. the teachers care and the administration listens to concerns. We need more parents to be active in the PTO.

My kids have attended Liberty for a total of almost 5 years. For the most part the school is lacking respect for other cultures and deversities. I can't help feel that when my son advances finally to middle school next year he may receive the respect he deserves. He has been bullied, and the prinicipal can care less. I continue to pray that my other child will have a better experience than her older brother. I even had a teacher write on my sons report card that it was basically an accident that he received all A's. I kept this and it has been my sons motivation ever since, guess what Liberty he continues to be on the A B honor roll.

My son has been there for 2 years now and he love it. The teachears he had so far had been great and dedicate to the students. The reading leves are amazing. And they focus and care for the students. But what the school neads are more parents to get involved. Teaches can not do our jobs as parents we need to support our kids.

My son is in 1st grade at Liberty and it is amazing how far he has come this year and how much he has learned. Being from Illinois, I was initially apprehensive as to what the quality of education would be in Tennessee, but after the strides my son has made both academically and behaviorally this year, I must admit I am nothing but impressed with the quality of education my son has received at Liberty this year.

My doughtor attended liberty for 2 years, and my son attended PK. All the teachers they had were so great. They both had lots of fun, and I loved the musinc performances. school building were clean, and most of the staff were understanding and helpful. However, the front office staffs are not friendry; rather, rude, nor are the most of transeportation staff. also, the lunch time seems to be too short, especially for younger grade students. note:There is a limit to how many PK student they can have.

I have had four children in Liberty Elementary and I currently have three. My oldest son has since progressed to middle school. My children love Liberty Elementary. They think it s one of the best places in the world. My children have experienced other schools; military, civilian, home school and private school. It is clear that they like this school and are doing well. They enjoy their teachers and their principals. I have had children in Liberty now for four years. I have sat in the classrooms with my sons and daughters and observed the interaction between them and their teachers. This is a Great School!

I have two children at Liberty Elem. and it has been a wonderful experience. My son is now going into the sixth grade and says he is going to miss Liberty so much. My daughter is so excited about going into third. The teachers are wonderful and the office staff is always ready to help with any questions. The principals and staff are always ready with a smile and encouraging word for all the students as they enter and exit the building. It was easy to communicate with the teachers and they really cared about my children's progress. I would recommend this school to anyone.

My son went to this school in K and part of 1st grade. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher in either grade. They acknowledged that my son was a little more advanced in certain subjects and didn't limit him but supported him and us as the parents greatly. We now live in Virginia (military) and wish the teachers here cared about the kids more than the children just being a number. I loved Liberty and so did my son. He can't wait to move back to clarksville and go back to liberty. Thank you very much for a great learning experience.

I believe that my son is being provided a truly average curriculum in this school. The school work he brings home is 95% ditto work, which requires exremely little teaching by the teacher. This may be just the teacher, but each teacher's curriculum is reviewed by higher authorities in the school. Also, the playground is a joke compared with any school from California. The children seldom get to have recess. It's not every day. I believe that this is a serious flaw in their instruction to my child. New facilities do not always equal quality education.
