GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The stars are for the caliber of students that we teach. This is definitely a teacher's school because our students are attentive, respectful, and kind. Our average class size is about 12:1, so your child would receive one to one attention and you are always welcome to contact the principal with your concerns.

It's a really small school but it's pretty good. The teachers are nice and all except for a few... Very understanding most of the time. More strict when it comes to learning and getting work done. The only downside is that you can't go to the bathroom unless it's an emergency. You need a pass signed by a teacher just so you can get water, use the bathroom, etc.

Liberty is a great place to learn and make friends. Shy or quiet students have a great opportunity to shine. Love may not have some of the facilities and the other schools but the staff makes up for it by caring so much. It is a shame some students have poor reviews. School is what you make of it. If you take advantage of all of the opportunities then you will be successful and grow socially and academically.

LBH is a really good school, it offers good programs for AP students and Honors Society students. They really motivate you to do your best every time. Teachers here actually care about your grades and they encourage the students to become better students.
