Daughter attended Liberty 2-4th. Awesome teachers, counselor, school nurse and principal. Everything about this school is great, except for the traffic at pick up, but we did the Clayton YES after school to avoid the headache. It was inexpensive and gave us flexibility to pick up at 3:45 or 6 depending on day.

About the tests

TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
