My son showed tremendous improvement upon adjusting to the schedule at Liberty. Due to size of the enrollment, teachers can become more involved with the students providing better learning abilities. He was always in 'spec. ed' most of his life, always needing that extra hand but the teachers at Liberty not only gave him the attention he needed but the encouragement he needed to move on past his inabilities. Parent involvement is great. Feel too much emphasize is placed on extracurricular activities though. Overall, I recommend the school especially to parents who want their children to get that one on one attention that is lacking in the big city over-crowded schools but don't know if I would recommend it for those over-achiever students. However, the school is small enough where all the students care for one another and offers the rare chance of making school mates for life.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Washington used End-of-Course (EOC) examinations to assess students in Algebra I, Geometry, Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, and Biology. The EOC tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
