Liberal high school is a school that accepts diversity and helps students reach their goals and get students ready for college and adult ready. I love how teachers helps any student with any situation that happens that could lead us to unsolved situations. The teachers here actually care for our well-being which is something some high school lack but not here. The administration here listen to our concerns and allow us to decide matters that could help us students. It's truly an amazing school.

USD 480 deals from a lack of effective leadership from the district level to the building level. Many long time residents and family members seek to protect their jobs, all while many students are achieving well below other state schools.

I taught in this school. It had some decent teachers, but wasn't doing a very good job of preparing students for college. The students and teachers were not treated with respect by the principal. It you are a parent thinking of relocating, I would not recommend this school.
