My son has had to move several times and this is his 7th school since starting elementary school. He has had some bad experiences at school, but does well overall. He has ADHD and ODD which can cause some issues concerning concentration and talking to much. I by all means know that he can be a difficult student at times. However, my son has been bullied by several students (getting pushed around after getting off the school bus, lunch thrown in the trash, told he's worthless and unlovable, etc). His teachers have asked for help concerning his talking, but don't want me to sit in with class with him. (I've tried speaking to him, behavior charts, etc). One of his teacher's is never satisfied with his work even when he does a great job. For instance, a presentation that required online resources and apparently databases are not allowed which makes no sense. Every time I go into the front office, I am treated like I'm bothering them and someone speaking to a student with a condescending voice or yelling. This is by far, the worst school that he has ever been to and he is actually HOPING to be moved again at this point.

Everyone is honest and treats everyone with respect most of the time. They are also very kind to everyone and help to clean up after lunches and so on.

I like overall discipline and study structure of the school but text books should be available for students and parents so they can work at home specially in math s and science.

My son attended Liberty last school year and loved it! We never had an issue with any staff or student. My daughter will be attending this fall.

Jr. High can/is difficult. On every level, student, parent, teachers, faculty etc. it is difficult. The staff at this school has always gone above and beyond with any concern I have had with my children at school. I have spoken directly to the staff with any concerns even having gone to upper staff when not satisfied with the attention or professionalism or lack thereof. The staff cannot remedy problems they don't know about. I am thrilled to be able to educate with this school again next year. The staff is incredible. Perfect humans...no they are not...problem resolving this school and staff are.

As a parent I do not like this school. The office staff was rude and did not assist me with anything anytime I called. I am happy to report my children will not be attending this school.

Liberty is a great school. I go there as a 7th grader. The teachers are great and the activities are fun. I recommend this school for anybody :)
