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.

Probably one of the best schools in Liberal. Still one of the worst in the state. There are some good people here. But...anything creative or 'outside the box' has no place here. Our child doesn't fit into rigidity....that's all that was offered here. Very sad - this could be a great school....
